Researchers have built an artificial-heart-like pump that could extract electricity using microbial fuel cells that are fed on human urine or other waste products.
It's a first: researchers have built the first artificial-heart-like pump that is powered by microbial fuel cells fed on human urine. But instead of being used as a prosthetic device for human patients suffering from cardiac failure, the pump is intended to be used in "EcoBots" that extract energy from organic waste and turn it into electricity.The researchers, from the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol have published their paper in Bioinspiration &Biomimetics.
