New and interesting bio-fuel cells of the future will generate power from glucose sugar present inside snail’s body. This could be achieved by drilling holes through the shell and implant enzyme-coated electrodes in the hemolymph (or snail blood) that naturally collects between the snail’s body and shell. This battery is also based on
The researchers from MIT have designed a new silicon wafer with several embedded fuel cells that generate power using glucose. The fuel cell creates a small amount of electric current from the electrons of glucose molecules. It uses the same method that is used by cells to degrade glucose into ATP.
