Hydrogen Fuel From Urine!!

Gerardine Botte, a biomolecular engineer at Ohio University, has developed a “technology to generate hydrogen fuel from urine.” “Botte’s technology has the greatest potential for power generation in settings where large numbers of people gather – airports and sports stadiums, for example,” reports the Guardian. “An office building with 200 to 300 workers could generate 2 kilowatts of power, Botte has calculated. Granted, that’s not enough to power the building, but every drop in the bucket helps.
