SUBSTRATE-POWERED ENERGY STORAGE AND GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention is a substrate-powered energy storage and generation system employing microbial fuel cell technology utilizing electrodes located or placed within and/or on a substrate comprising soil and/or other material combined with at least one liquid in a specialized assembly to create an oxygen rich and oxygen poor environment surrounding the electrodes to create a voltage potential capable of producing sufficient current to power at least one electrical load.

主权项

1. A substrate-powered energy storage and generation system employing microbial fuel cell technology utilizing a specialized assembly to power at least one electrical load, comprising:
at least one sealable or non-sealable vessel; a means of enclosing said at least one sealable vessel; at least one fuel and/or substrate and/or electrolyte or means to collect same, or instructions as to where to find and how to collect same, within or to be placed within, said sealable or non-sealable vessel; at least one anode in at least one first location within said fuel and/or substrate and/or electrolyte within said sealable or non-sealable vessel; at least one means to attach at least one anode wire to said at least one anode; at least one cathode in at least one second location within said sealable or non-sealable vessel; at least one means to attach at least one cathode wire to said at least one cathode; a means of passing said at least one anode wire and said at least one cathode wire through said means of enclosing said at least one sealable or non-sealable vessel; a means of attaching said at least one cathode wire to at least one plus terminal and a means of attaching said at least one anode wire to at least one minus terminal.
