Design features:

  • Substrate: topsoil gathered from La Friche's garden - two days before assembly - inoculated with 10 mL of clay gathered in Niolon on the day of assembly.
    • Volume: 80*30*2 cm3
  • Container: crate, covered with a transparent garbage plastic bag.
  • Proton Exchange Membrane: printer paper with low amount of ink.
    • Surface: 80*30 cm2
  • Water comes from La Friche's tap - maybe chlorinated.
  • Anode: copper covered with carbon, extracted from a dead DELL PC battery found in the LFO storage space.
    • Surface: 70*5 cm2
  • Cathode: copper covered with less carbon, extracted from the same battery.
    • Surface: 70*5 cm2

Performances:

  • Voltage: started at 30mV, went up avove 40, and dropped down to 0 in 2 hours.
  • Current: started at 0.125 mA, and dropped down to 0 in 2 hours.

Max Power Measured: 3.75 microW

Design features:

  • Substrate: mud gathered from La Friche's garden on the day of assembly.
    • Volume: 80*30*2 cm3
  • Container: crate, covered with a transparent garbage plastic bag.
  • Proton Exchange Membrane: three to four overlapping sheets of newspaper, covered in ink.
    • Surface: 80*30 cm2
  • Water: mainly rainwater from the mudsource, with some tap water (0.5L) to complement - maybe chlorinated.
  • Anode: copper covered with carbon, extracted from a dead DELL PC battery found in the LFO storage space.
    • Surface: 70*5 cm2
  • Cathode: copper covered with less carbon, extracted from the same battery.
    • Surface: 70*5 cm2

Performances:

  • Voltage: started at 5mV, went up avove 45 the second day.
  • Current: around 0.1 mA.

Max Power Measured: 0.5 microW
