Flies are fuel

April 21, 2009

flytrapI just wanted to link to something really really cool. And kind of creepy.

It seems that a design firm is making household furniture/robots that make their own electricity by attracting and then digesting household pests. I don’t know how it works, but it seems to involve lights, holes, and something called “microbial fuel cells”. Soooo cool.

    My god the thing eats mice! “Converts them to energy?” Either this is a joke or technology has found a new venue for sadism.
