Poo-Powered Glowing Bacteria Light Up the House

Dutch electronics company Phillips has. In fact, they've created Bio-light, a greener lighting system that's part of their Microbial Home (MH) system. It isn't powered by electricity or sunlight, but by glowing bioluminescent bacteria that thrive on waste generated in the average home.

The bioluminescent bacteria is housed in hand-blown glass cells, clustered together to form a lamp that could easily be displayed in a modern art museum. Each cell is connected to the lamp's reservoir base by thin silicon tubes that pipe methane gas from composted bathroom solids and vegetable scraps via a kitchen dodad that digests bio-waste.

Interesting.. maybe we can also fans/ventilations powered by poo, this way when SHTF they would
still be working fine

Lol, I rather not use a fan in that case.

Looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie!

Wouldn't want to break one.....

Looks kinda romantic. Who woulda known that poo can be romantic.

What's next? A flashlight that is connected to your .......well, you can fill in the rest.

Yeah, poo is amazing. I'm using it to sustain the ecosystem in my future aquaponics setup.

The duckweed feed on poo, and this feeds the fish. The fish poo out what the plants need, and the plants filter the water back to the fish.

This shows another wonder of poo, so S+F.

Urine and poo seems to be important in our future technological advances

That's neat.. what kind of fish eat duckweed? Koi? Goldfish?

I have it floating on the top of my tropical fish tanks at home!

But wait.. why stop there...

We can eat the stuff too!

Mmmmmmh....

Reminds me of the The Yes Men McDonalds poo burger technology
Really cool video, the technology is explained in a hilarious animation starting at 3min40 of the video
Worth it

Forget about everything. The lady in the pic looks hot for some reason

Tilapia grow great on a half and half mix of duckweed and commercial feed.

In a farm trial conducted in the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Agricultural Pilot Center (BFAR-APC) fishfarm in Iguig, Cagayan, researchers found out that tilapia fed with a diet consisting of 50 percent fresh duckweeds and 50 percent commercial feeds had higher growth rate than those fed with commercial feeds only. Each fish weighed about 171 grams in five to six months culture period. The feed conversion ratio was 1.65, meaning that for every kilo of tilapia, 1.65 kilo of the feed combination is needed.

Study Verifies Viability of Duckweeds as Alternative Feed for Tilapia
