Electricity from sugar?
« on: January 09, 2015, 04:18:22 AM »
I know people are working on batteries that transform energy from glucose to electricity.

Do you guys think there is anything to it? Anybody experimenting with this stuff? I had seen a youtube video with a simple experiment but can't find it right now...

Thanks

EDIT: Found it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRC3vAoBmVI

He just powers a single LED, maybe it's a trick or something.

Could be something else than sugar too.

He went to power a cellphone with is "enzymes" and sugar. But he won't give any details. Seems to be students or something.

Looks intriguing, I can't see any hidden wires. :-/

Although I can understand if this really works they won't reveal more information anytime soon.

That's legit, his claim of free energy is referring to chemistry. Early physics books used that term for batteries but in todays time it's moved to chemistry.  The sugar is the electrolyte but because the enzymes are braking down the sugars, that process is adding negative ions to the "battery". The part we don't see is him later adding more sugar and enzymes to keep the voltage moving. That's why he needs to sture the mixture.

I bet the enzyme is chlorophyll from plant extract or a type of yeast enzyme to burn the sugar calories into energy

But there are no wires that's standard science and usable if you keep adding sugar and assume the enzymes don't diminish overtime

Well, I hope they reveal their recipe for the enzymes one day. It looks really good to me and would be nice to experiment with this stuff.

I think some scientists has proven it works well and has also many advantages as described in the below link

But how practical is it to have a enzymes along with glucose (sugar) in your battery?

Would you be able to recharge the sugar or the enzymes?

Because North Americans eat so much sugar, I think it would be best to just eat those enzymes ourselfs are plug our selfs to a rechargeble battery, I would not be supprised to get 100v or so ;)

This is really  old tech.the enzymes break the sugar(sucrose) down into glucose and the glucose functions same as hydrogen in a fuelcell.one would just have to add sugarwater to your cellfone every now-n-then and keep chattin for days on end.sugar is a good petrol for cellfones,but then again so is a sheet replaceable magnesium or zinc
