Help With Microbial Fuel Cell Project

Post by NeonRhino9 »

Hi, I am currently doing my senior-level engineering project. My partner and I are planning on constructing a Microbial Fuel Cell capable of utilizing a 5 person family's food waste and creating enough power to charge a phone. We were planning on creating it to support about 7-10 pounds of waste, could anyone help us with how to do this?

Hi,

We have multiple projects on our site about microbial fuel cells that I would recommend reading. This one is about using a small kit:

but this one includes instructions to build your own larger device:
