Even though the multimeter was connected the wrong way (+ on anode, - on cathode), we first had positive (and quite high) current and voltage value. Is this due to remanant charges from the PC battery ? | Even though the multimeter was connected the wrong way (+ on anode, - on cathode), we first had positive (and quite high) current and voltage value.

+ | ==Conclusion== | ||
+ | |||
+ | From both these expriments and those conducted in Bruxelles, we can conclude that the MFC behavior improves and stabilizes with time. | ||

+ | Using newspaper or cardboard as a Proton Exchange Membrane seems fine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | New long-term experiments should be conducted to test other parameters, including more broadly available electrode materials. |
