| [[http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Microbial-Fuel-Cell-easy/|This design]] is made of two containers, bridged together with a salt bridge (rope dipped in saturated salted water, wrapped in insulating tape), one with pond sludge, another with clear water. | [[http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Microbial-Fuel-Cell-easy/|This design]] is made of two containers, bridged together with a salt bridge (rope dipped in saturated salted water, wrapped in insulating tape), one with pond sludge, another with clear water. |

| ====One container Design==== | ===One container Design=== |
| |
| [[http://www.treehugger.com/slideshows/gadgets/make-microbial-fuel-cell/page/1/#slide-top|This design]] is made from one container, sludge at the bottom, smart gel proton exchanger on top of it, and clean water on the very top. No air pump, but lower performances. Something like charcoal is used as an electrode material. | [[http://www.treehugger.com/slideshows/gadgets/make-microbial-fuel-cell/page/1/#slide-top|This design]] is made from one container, sludge at the bottom, smart gel proton exchanger on top of it, and clean water on the very top.
