papered powered bio battery by SONY

 SONY recently demonstrated a new  bio battery technology in Japan, which uses  very waste paper to generate a  grateful electricity. 

A type of bio-battery, it converts waste paper into sugar solution, which is used as a fuel to generate electricity.

  

The current prototype battery is most powerful enough to run basic music players,and as well as to run mobile phones because it will consume very little amount of power of 3.7v. 

The question of how to package it in a battery, with its liquid contents, remains unanswered however. ? ? ? 

Breaking down the paper chemical form  enzyme into glucose sugar, the battery then combines the sugar with oxygen as well as other enzymes, converting it to hydrogen ions, water, gluconolactone acid, and electrons – producing electricity. 

A large part of the process can be likened to know  how termites break down wood to produce sugar, and energy process method.

Yuichi Tokita, senior researcher at Sony's Advanced Material Research Lab, spoke about the invention: he says that

"Using a 'fuel' as simple as old greetings cards - the sort of cards that millions of us will be receiving this Christmas - the bio battery can deliver enough energy to power a small fan. Of course, this is still at the very early stages of its development, but when you imagine the possibilities that this technology could deliver, it becomes very exciting indeed."
