Generating power has been a large topic of conversation the past couple weeks here in the tri-state area, a top hashtag for you young viewers. I saw this article yesterday during my daily lunch browsing and thought some of us occasionally less fortunate would be quite interested. I don't mind dropping a couple hundred on a generator once, it's the couple hundred on gas just to keep my frozen meats and milk fresh that I protest.

According to The Next Web’s Emil Protalinski, the urine-powered generator — which can turn one liter of urine into six hours of electricity — works like this.
- Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which cracks the urea into nitrogen, water, and hydrogen.
- The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
- The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
- This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.
Solves the problem of not having a place to put your pee during power outages, too. Two birds!
