With all the focus on clean energy, I thought this clever little lamp is powered by dirt(y) clean energy was pretty interesting. Marieke Strap’s Soil lamp literally harnesses it’s energy from mud. Similar to the process of the microbial fuel cell, the metabolic reaction that is generated by mud, copper and zinc filled cells creates enough energy to power the highly efficient LED.

I hate to see things like this making the news; so-called “potato-powered lamps” or “mud-powered lamps” or whatever. The principal of these batteries is exactly that of conventional, disposable batteries; two metals of different electronegativity values are placed in an electrolyte, and electricity flows until the metal is spent. The electrolyte, whether potato, orange, lemon, mud or person, doesn’t matter a bit and certainly offers no “green cred”.
In essence, this is a huge, wasteful disposable battery. The only “green” thing in it is the choice of LED, which is probably a practical one as such a homebrew battery wouldn’t power an incandescent bulb.
Да уж… Тут как в пословице: Аз, буки и веди страшат, что медведи
Thanks a lot! I am just learning Information of Subject.
Php and this was very easy to follow and helped a lot.
You really took time to explain every little bit.
Thanks again…
Dirt depreciation in new lighting designs offers the opportunity to reduce the number of fixtures required to achieve the target maintained light level, thus reducing initial and operating costs of a fixture for the owner. In retrofit situations, this offers the opportunity to select components that produce less light output while saving more energy.
maybe i should to say i agree cathal more , i know that the little lamp is interesting ,and it make energy saving comes turth ,but it also wast much mor evergy in other type . metal products !
Clean energy is the way to go
I love reading your blog, and hope to see more soon. Thanks!
With all the energy the sun has to offer,I think we should invest more and more money into solar energy.It is the ultimate solution to a clean environment.
I love the layout of your site, what theme do you use?
naturally like your web site however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will surely come again again.
Читал про это в Википедии. Вообще конечно занятная тема.
