Fill Your AA With PP

Good lord its not a joke!

These batteries are able to convert energy from a number of general waste liquids into a small charge capable of powering a very low demand device like a clock, remote control or small radio.

Inside each NoPoPo battery is a combination of magnesium and carbon that generate electricity when mixed with certain fluids. According to the manufacturers site, the batteries can be filled with urine, beer, tea, saliva and a ton of other general, everyday household substances. Ewww

I don't know if its the geek in me but the first thing I thought of was the possible reality of MrFusion. MrFusion was the white appliance on the engine of the Back To The Future (2) DeLorean that emulated the 1.21GigaWatts of power required to activate the flux capacitor and travel though time. (Damn that's a good movie!) It was fuelled by.................well.......crap! from Marty's rubbish bins.

Pardon the pun but in the future could we be seeing piss tanks all over the place for refuelling your new ultra green hybrid car? Or just the usual piss tanks around seedy bars, universities and our place? Perhaps, Perhaps..Perhaps
