The 660 Gallon Brewery Fuel Cell

Posted by samzenpus on from the drinking-electricity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Australia's University of Queensland has secured a $115,000 grant for a 660-gallon fuel cell that should produce 2 kilowatts of power. A prototype has been operating at the university laboratory for three months. This fuel cell type is essentially a battery in which bacteria consume water-soluble brewing waste such as sugar, starch and alcohol, plus in this instance produces clean water."

    Your rant would be much more effective if those chicks in the pictures were naked. And if you've never used DOS 3.3 or had a free subscription to Softalk, you're a johnny-come-lately poseur anyways, so GTFO. Clarus my ass.

    Dumb ass, why are you living is such a ridiculous large home? Live smaller and you save so much more. Living in a 5000 square foot house with compact florescent bulbs is like driving a hybrid SUV or drinking diet coke. They are all stupid and only done by people who want to buy a conscience that they are doing their part.
