The NCBE is delighted to be able to supply this unique fuel cell to schools, which is based on original research by Dr Peter Bennetto, formerly of King's College, London. |
| |||||
| | | | | ||
HOW DOES IT WORK? | ||
| | |
With readily-available chemicals (such as methylene blue), the fuel cell can be used to generate a small electrical current from the metabolic activities of ordinary yeast! Fuel cells like this are now used by a leading UK brewery to test the activity of the yeast used for their ales. The NCBE's improved high-quality cell is supplied with neoprene gaskets, carbon fibre electrode material, cation-exchange membrane and an illustrated instruction booklet. The microbial fuel cell is ideal for investigations of respiration and students have even won prizes with it at international science fairs. An 'exploded' view of the fuel cell can be seen here. (You need the Shockwave flash plug-in to view this.) | ||
