Borax is a natural mineral, commonly used in laundry detergent.<\/li>\n<li>The hydrogen is pushed into a power generator in the final step of the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A big drawback is that hydrogen poses an explosion risk. But the girls used one-way valves throughout the device as a safety measure.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of\u00a0<a title=\"Pee-powered fuel cell turns urine into energy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chemistryworld.com\/news\/pee-powered-fuel-cell-turns-urine-to-energy\/3003125.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using urine<\/a> as fuel\u00a0is not new. The girls have come up with a practical way to put the idea into action, though. Their method for using urine to power a generator is one the average household can appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>Power generators are used far more often in Africa than here, where they are relegated more to emergency use, as in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The Maker Faire Africa blog says power outages happen multiple times a day in Lagos, so all those who can afford a backup generator have one.<\/p>\n<p>Still, technology needs to evolve further before such a system is feasible, at least as far as applications like powering generators go.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1524 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/phpg4MCt0AM.jpg\" alt=\"Teenagers Invent Generator That Runs Off Urine\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/phpg4MCt0AM.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/phpg4MCt0AM-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gerardine Botte<\/strong>, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio University, is among those working on practical ways <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">to make urine into a more useful hydrogen source<\/span>, essentially by turning power into a byproduct of wastewater treatment. She says it takes more energy to extract hydrogen from urine than you end up getting in return as electricity. The <strong>energy<\/strong> equation gets even more skewed by the inefficiency of the generator used in the girls\u2019 project.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAt first glance, they\u2019re not having a net gain in energy,\u201d Botte says. \u201cBut I think it\u2019s important to say that these little girls, trying to do something like this, deserve a lot of credit.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The idea behind the humble urine-powered generator is along the lines of Botte\u2019s own thinking, and her research is all about efficient ways to break urine down into its useful components.<\/p>\n<p>Botte\u2019s approach is to use the electrolysis of urea as a method of wastewater treatment. She says her process for converting urine into potable water is more cost-effective and more energy-efficient than current wastewater treatment methods. <strong>Pure hydrogen is produced as a byproduct and can be used in generating electricity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou cannot get net energy gain, but there is no more efficient way to get clean water from urine,\u201d Botte says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Botte founded\u00a0E3 Clean Technologies\u00a0in 2011 to work on scaling the process for use by municipalities and others.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.serdp.org\/Program-Areas\/Environmental-Restoration\/ER-2218\/ER-2218\/(language)\/eng-US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of Defense is trying out<\/a>\u00a0a portable system from E3 at military bases in remote areas, as both a way to treat wastewater and generate power. The system, which Botte calls\u00a0<strong>GreenBox technology<\/strong>, converts a soldier\u2019s urine into drinking water.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAt forward operating bases, the main needs are water and fuel,\u201d Botte says. \u201cWith this project, they\u2019re doing both: using less energy to reutilize water sources.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, when put in the context of wastewater treatment, the concept of using urine as a hydrogen source to produce energy has great potential.<\/p>\n<p>Since wastewater treatment plants already collect the raw material needed \u2013 urine \u2013 extracting hydrogen from it makes sense, Botte says. Doing so could regain some of the vast amounts of energy already being spent all over the world to treat waste.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cYou will never get more energy out than you put in,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it is a unique and elegant way to treat urine waste, which will allow you to cogenerate electricity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To give you a sense of how much energy it is possible to recapture from this method of treating urine, Botte offers this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>At Ohio University, where there are about 22,000 students, if we would collect the urine and produce hydrogen, we would be able to produce enough electricity to perhaps power about 100 to 150 residential houses for a year, continuously.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Consider that before you dismiss what the enterprising teens did with their own project.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, <strong>as the technology evolves<\/strong>, it could be applied to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifeadvancer.com\/salt-water-powered-supercar-quant-e-sportlimousine-approved-for-eu-roads\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vehicles someday<\/a>. <strong>Gasoline-powered<\/strong> internal combustion engines can be converted relatively easily to run on hydrogen, which raises the question of whether there is potential for pee-powered cars in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"teens-create-a-way-to-use-urine-as-fuel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/matthewdepaula\/2012\/11\/08\/teens-create-a-way-to-use-urine-as-fuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s some news from Africa that will be of interest to all of the people waiting in line for gas to use in their generators after Hurricane Sandy.
