I was inspired quite a lot by the an activity in our Learn3 segment:
Lebone. The idea of using a microbial fuel cell (MCF) is fantastic. For example, in Canada, we have a lot of dirt! To be able to leverage the dirt around us to make power would be fantastic. So I am going to extend the Lebone idea to create this idea:
Discontinuous Fuel-cell Power for Electric Automobiles
It takes two parts to make my idea comes to fruiting:
Part 1: an electric car. It's almost here in Canada. The
Chevy Volt and the
Nissan Leaf are on the verge of appearing.
Part 2: a microbial fuel cell (MCF) large enough to generate enough electricity to charge the electric car in Part 1. It would not be impossible to create because in my front yard I have lots and lots of dirt that is freely available to contribute to the MCF.
The result is that you could charge your electric car overnight on a daily basis without using one watt from the current power grid. Fantastic!
Unfortunately, I am not an engineer so I cannot develop this product. I hope an engineer reads this posting and does something with my idea. Are you an engineer reading this right now? If so, create this product. I would buy one (*grin*)
Take care
