Urine could move from being a waste product to become a useful fuel, if researchers in Bristol get their way. The team at Bristol Robotics Lab (BRL) is investigating the use of urine within Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), which use bacterial cultures to break down organic material to create power. MFCs are a developing technology used to power autonomous robots.
Researchers at BRL, which is a collaboration between the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England (UWE), have spent three and a half years developing a wastewater-powered robot with an artificial stomach, thanks to EU and EPSRC funding.

that is, it generates electricity by boiling water, then forcing the high-temperature, high-pressure steam through a series of turbines. In this sense, it is analogous to every baseline electricity generation technology. Rather than burning fossil fuel or tapping the heat of a nuclear reaction, it uses the heat of the sun as it hits the Earth’s surface.
