This ‘Plant Lamp’ uses bacteria to generate electricity
Maintaining infrastructure in the rainforest is a pretty tall order — the area is dense with vegetation and prone to intense moisture and flooding. Villages like Nuevo Saposoa in Peru have had their electrical grids disabled or destroyed by the elements, leaving residents at the mercy of daylight or the fumes of kerosene lamps to work, read or study. Researchers at Peru’s Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología have created a novel solution: an LED lamp powered by a houseplant.
