UK Startup Bactery Develops Bacteria-Powered Soil Battery for Gardening Applications
By
Gardening
Summary
British startup Bactery has developed a bacteria-powered battery that generates electricity from soil microbes. The device produces a continuous trickle of power and can be scaled up by connecting multiple units. It complements solar energy systems by generating power even when the sun isn't shining. The company aims to reach 4 watts per cubic meter, with lab prototypes already six times more powerful than current versions. The technology is designed for gardening applications.
