A team of researchers from the University of Bristol wants us to urinate in his socks. Well, at least in the case of extreme necessity. They have developed an innovative power system that uses your liquid waste to generate electricity in case of emergency.
Socks are special silicone tube, up to 640 milliliters of urine. Tube lead to microbial fuel cells, positioned at the ankle, the bacteria which feed on urine and produce electricity. Energy the output is a bit, but its enough socks built-in wireless transmitter could every two minutes to broadcast the message.
Socks are not yet ready to enter the market. As said Tricky Lucraft from Universal Technology Corporation, “it is unclear how urine will get in your socks — you have to urinate?”. However, once the problem of delivering fresh urine in socks is solved, the novelty will find application in many spheres — from military operations to medical procedures. In the end, we will have a way to recharge the dead battery of the smartphone, if there will not appear any outlet.
