Andrew Lieou on 19 Nov 12In Lagos, Nigeria in Africa, four teenage girls aged 14 through 15 created a pee powered generator that can generate around six hours of electricity per liter peed. This contraption works through separating the pee's hydrogen with an electrolyte cell. Although the option of turning human waste into energy is very appealing and promising, it can also turn out to be a health hazard. From this, humans have the ability to turn non-needed waste or excretions into a needed thing: electricity. Personally this idea is extremely appealing to me as I pee a lot. I also use a lot of electricity when I play games, surf the web, and watch tv. This contraption here would help tons of people as well as me. Considering it passes health inspections and can be modified to be more hygeinic.
