Could blood be used to power batteries ?

The device is essential for cell effectively, the current
Century of ho-wide issues. The passage of time can cause problems
Charge is maintained. Then some completely stopped working. Other
Leak or overheating, or explosion. In addition, the rigid
Sometimes bulky. So, instead of your standard,
AA or lithium-ion, flexibility and a very thin cell
What will be supplied by blood and sweat? It seems to improve,
Right?

Group of scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
They claim the battery like this one created by using one
Electrolyte fluid in nature. Results
The survey, Aug. 13, more problems
Procedures, the friends of the National Academy of Sciences
To generate some excitement as part of the new crop
The fluid to run off and other "bio battery"
Organic compounds. (RPI, the team claims, the possibility of their
Also runs in the urine and tears. )

And not only paper-thin battery, essentially
Paper. The battery is made from at least 90 percent
Cellulose is the traditional paper and other paper so far
Products [source: RPI is. To configure the aligned carbon nanotubes
Other 10 percent, and the ability to give a conductive paper
Also, make sure the black. Is stamped on the nanotube, a very
Cloth, paper, creating what many called nanocomposite
Paper. One, according to the authors of the paper, batteries
"The same weight and feel of paper and see".

Using nanotechnology, the miniaturization of batteries, flexibility,
View source electrolyte replenishment and - as long as that is,
Food - ideal for medical applications. If you use the
Off the battery from the human body, scientists are dripping wet

Important as subsidies and construction of paper battery
Flexibility. Is, RPI research team believes that the battery
The future long sheet can be printed
Then be reduced to a small custom-shaped batteries.
Nanocomposite paper can be poked with a hole that is cut or
Abnormal shape and continue to function. Multiple sheets
And together, to concentrate the power for medical implants
Pacemakers, artificial heart and advanced prosthetics.
To fit under the skin without causing the battery easily
Any discomfort.

This ionic liquid does not freeze, evaporate or
Like water, could be adopted in a wide range of battery
Temperature: -100 ~ 300 degrees Celsius Fahrenheit
911. Its heat resistance, light weight means
The manufacture of automobiles and airplanes - both
Light, durable material is required - may come calling.

Claims of battery, the researchers behind the device
So unique, "can act as both high-energy battery
High-power supercapacitor "[source: RPI is] super
Large burst of energy quickly, and potentially allow for expansion
Technology applications, already wide.

Is that batteries are considered environmentally

They are trying to be more efficient battery
The best way to understand the production.

Other types of bio battery

This is also a researcher at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are not

Companies, universities, research foundations
Competing with the production of batteries can be possible to drive
Off organic compounds, especially human body fluids.
Researchers are considering the potential of human blood sugar and sugar
Because of the power source of valuable information, but can occur naturally
Please do not produce harmful emissions that can be accessed easily.

In 2003, Japanese researchers at Panasonic's Nanotechnology
Institute announced that they are working
To extract power from blood glucose. At the time, but they
Using an enzyme - a component for frequent-based bio battery
Its catalytic properties - in order to get electronic

From Tohoku University, this one has announced their
Small "fuel cell to create a successful life." They
Can be used to power small medical devices such as cell
Implant to measure blood glucose levels in diabetics. Future
Such technologies might like this version of the RPI and nanocomposite

August 2005, Singapore scientists have developed a battery
Use of human urine as its fuel. Nevertheless, there is a possibility
Power source is off-putting, but a variety of battery
Application. The researchers had their device
Could form the basis of the size of a credit card and cheap
Disposable test kits for diseases. (Already used urine
To detect diseases and some medications) is what the device is
Particularly useful, it is integrated with the battery
One single disposable chip testing equipment. Imagine a one hour
Test kits for diseases such as cancer and hepatitis household use.
One of the researchers are involved in the project said,
Could be adapted easily to provide battery charges
Other electronic devices. Hiker lost if one uses
Short-term emergency power, mobile phones.

Consumer electronics giant Sony in August 2007 announced that it had
In addition, we created a battery of energy derived from sugar. 1

However, many exciting announcements have been made in the field
Cell Bio is some time before we are likely to be people they see
