Urine-Powered Batteries?

[Rob Williams]

Aqua Power System, from Japan, has unveiled the NoPoPo batteries that are rechargeable via liquid that’s injected into the battery chamber. Yes, it will run off your urine if that’s where you thought this was going to lead. But let’s try and be mature about this. The rechargeable batteries come in AA and AAA and the basic principle behind the pee-powered NoPoPo’s is that a mixture of magnesium and carbon reacts with the liquid you choose to inject, which in turn produces up to 500 mAh of life.

Yeah.. quite strange, but so intriguing at the same time.

Now that would take a while to charge up. Need a lot of beers, no doubt.

Whoa?! This is great. I might be going to Japan next summer, and I might have to pick some of those up. Anyone want me to get them some.

Great for a camping trip and bring the whole family.
But I think I need a bigger battery

Those AAA batteries are a b*tch to pee into

 

[James Crysis]

That is just too weird.

"Oh crap the torch just ran out of battery again... Do you want to do it or should I?"
