Homemade Microbial Fuel Cells and Renewable Energy

Homemade Microbial Fuel Cells and Renewable Energy

Learn how to build a simple microbial fuel cell, why and how they work, and what it takes for students to do their own research and experiments in school. Also, discover how photovoltaic (solar) cells, hydrogen fuel cells, and other renewable forms of energy production and storage work.

What inspired you to make this project?:
I've always had a passion for science and building things. My favorite thing to do is learn, whether it's classes in school, science videos on the internet, or coding my own games, building, and tinkering. This project in particular was a huge learning experience for me, and an immense amount of research and engineering has gone into it. There's a lot of kids my age who are really frustrated with school and dread coming everyday. However, I've learned that there's really so much more to learning and so many opportunities to explore one's passion and change the world. I'll welcome any opportunity to share my ideas and inspiration with other students, because I think finding what you love is the key to great learning experiences and a happy life.
