Spending a penny could soon provide enough power to send a text message or make a call, after scientists discovered a way of recharging a mobile phone with urine.
Researchers at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory harnessed an electrical charge by passing urine through a stack of microbial cells, which reacted to compounds including chloride, sodium and potassium.
The resultant charge was enough to make a brief call on a Samsung phone, send a text message or browse the web, the Royal Society of Chemistry journal reported.
