Help With Microbial Fuel Cell Project

[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:

Thank you so much for the help with our project, we ended up in 1st place with a scholarship of $2000, we couldn't have done it without the resources you provided.

Congratulations on your success with your project! Did you use one of the projects that Ben mentioned?

Which science fair did you enter?
