Robotics professor Ioannis Ieropoulos and his team at University of the West of England in Bristol, UK, have managed to turn human waste and locomotion into electrical power with a bit of help from microbes. According to the scientists, this is the first time anyone has combined microbial fuel cells with wearable technology. The socks produced enough electricity to power a specialized wireless transmitter that sent out the message ‘World’s First Wearable MFC’ every two minutes. The idea behind the creation was to create a self-contained system for generating power, with an eye toward survivalist scenarios.
