Small MCFs and electrode material? PDF Print E-mail
Questions
Friday, 06 March 2009

Has anyone successfully built small MFCs?  Were stack configurations investigated?

Also what are the best materials for electrodes?

 This would all be done under continous flow and with waste water.

Thanks

Advancement and efficiency of MFC's PDF Print E-mail
Questions
Thursday, 19 February 2009
Hello, I am only 15 but I recently heard of MMFC's and BESs, and would like to know how far this technology can be used in day to day use. How efficencent and what energy yield percentages can we expect from from MFC's and how much if any pollution will it produce? As a energy source is it comparable to other alternative energy sources? And finally how soon can we expect to see these Prototypes such as the E. Coli MFC become a reality? Thank you for your time. Sam

We read with interest of the new MFC pilot plant in Australia and was wondering whether anyone would be interested in implementing this type of plant in Italy, in a waste plant.

I'll be grateful for suggestions

 


 
MFC with E. coli PDF Print E-mail
Questions
Friday, 06 February 2009
Hi I'm Rachel, a freshmen at Falmouth Academy, in Falmouth, MA. For my almost 6-month science fair project this year I made a Microbial Fuel Cell with E. coli. I also used the voltages measured from the MFC to model the growth curve of E. coli.  I am now writing my analysis section of my paper and was wondering if anyone else had made a MFC with E. coli so I could make a comparison with the amount of energy generated in my MFC (which was .44V at the largest).
Thanks!

Building a Two-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (after a tutorial presented by The Logan Group)

This webpage aims to help someone to build a microbial fuel cell (MFC) using relatively inexpensive and readily available materials. The method is based on the microbial fuel cells built by Abbie Groff, a student at Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster, PA. The research she performed with her MFCs helped her win the Grand Champion Award at the 2005 Lancaster County Science Fair. More information about her research can be found on her website.
