VIVAnews - James Auger and Chris Melhuish design students, researchers from Birstol Robotics Laboratory, the British succeeded in making a wall clock, lights, and robots that are different from robots in general.
Do not use electricity, batteries or solar power, the devices have gotten energy from insects, particularly flies.
Auger said he got the thought while observing how plants are ready to get the energy and survive by eating insects that perch. Here's the video: Eater Insect Clocks.
Using a technology known as a microbial fuel cell, researchers use bacteria and food (dead insects are captured).
After the bacteria consume the food, the researchers took the electron that's in these bacteria and become electric. Electricity is that the primary supply of energy for the robot, clock, or the lamp in question.
As an illustration, eight carrion flies could supply electricity to control for 12 days.
