New device to generate electricity from soil discovered

Scientists have created a new type of fuel cell that can obtain unlimited amounts of electricity from soil. According to a team from Northwestern University in the United States, this book-sized unit can be used in agriculture. The sensors can be used to provide energy.

The technology could offer a sustainable and renewable alternative to toxic and flammable batteries by making electricity from naturally occurring bacteria in soil. According to George Wells, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at the university, these bacteria are everywhere. They live everywhere in the soil.

We can get electricity using any simple engineered system.

This electricity cannot be supplied in the city, but small amounts of electricity can be used to run low-power appliances. This microbial fuel cell (MFC) is based on a 113-year-old technology that was first developed by British botanists. Created by Michael Chris Potter. Michael was the first person to successfully generate electricity from micro-organisms. Scientists used the latest fuel cell to power sensors that measure soil moisture and detect touch in both dry and humid conditions. tried The fuel cell provided 120 percent better results than similar technology.
