Save the Earth

CSEF · 2013 Alternative Energy (Junior Division Only)

Divita Pandita · Folsom Middle School, Folsom, Sacramento County

Overview

Objectives/Goals To create a more efficient and economically feasible alternative energy source, that could potentially save our planet from global warming and pollution by using the surplus of human waste. Methods/Materials I used a two chamber microbial fuel cell to produce electricity. The main material s used were containers, carbon cloth/paper, copper wire, Agar and salt, air pump, Benthic / top soil, water and few other miscellaneous materials. Results Microbial fuel cell was capable of producing electricity right away, but its electric production was inconsistent. Conclusions/Discussion Yes, the microbial fuel cell can be used to create a more efficient and economically feasible alternative energy source, that could potentially save our planet from global warming and pollution by using the surplus of human waste. In the future for mass production of microbial fuel cell a capacitator can be used to increase the efficiency of the microbial fuel cell.
