Geletricell: Agar Utilizing Dualcore EMFC
EFCs and MFCs have been studied for many years using variety of biological fuels. Many obstacle of these fuel cells is that they often use food sources for humans. Also they only produce a small amount of electricity.
The goal of our project is to improve both of these problems. We used agar, which is very abundant in the ocean but is not a primary food source for humans.
We also combined traditional EFC and MFC to create EMFC which uses shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and diaphorase simultaneously to generate electricity.
