Bacteria would make the energy of tomorrow
In the movie Matrix, the bioelectricity of the human nervous system is used for energy production. In this future scenario, mankind has become symbiotic with computers. And there is a highly sophisticated thing, what is known as "Matrix" where every action would happen in this digital world. This is one of the so-called dark visions of the computing, and maybe in some extreme conditions the intelligent species would become the hybrid or symbiotic creature with computers, but in fact, we are using bioelectricity in the everyday life.
Almost all fuel what we are using in the power plants is created by bacteria, what lives on Earth, and these bacteria from the gas and petroleum, what we are using in the electric production. But there have been plans to create the fuel cells and bioenergy based biobatteries for the mobile telephones and tablets. The last one is very interesting and also a radical vision of the batteries, which are using bacteria for creating energy.
Those bacteria would have two poles, and the form of those organisms is like a battery. If there are lots of those bacteria, and they would be in the same way, the system would be used to make electricity straight from the biomass. So, in theory, the bacteria can be used also in the large scale energy production. In this system, the tank is filled with energy bacteria, and it can produce electricity. Biobatteries difference to the fuel cell is that the system makes electricity without fire, and that makes it a very addictive thing for small scale electricity production.
But those bacteria need extreme high temperature and chemical conditions, what is hard to create. But by using genetic engineering those bacteria would someday give energy to computers, and that thing can use in UPS-systems, what gives power to the computers in the office, as well as in the large scale power plants. But as you might see the practical solution is not so easy to make.
Use of bacteria for creating electricity is not actually the new idea. The bacteria are suitable for small scale production of energy, but there is one problem, those bacteria need extreme conditions for working correctly, and in fact, this means bacteria is not coming soon in power devices for mobile devices. But if there is a possibility for creating the energy bacteria, what operates in the same chemical environment as we are living.
If the energy production will happen in the room temperature or lower, this kind of way to produce the energy would become true. In the future, the batteries or small-size bioenergy producers would use similar nutrient, what is used in growing vegetables. In this vision, the office staff would give the water and nutrient same time to the bio batteries and vegetables.
