Urine Powered Batteries

I’m all for finding better ways to protect our environment. I recycle, I proper dispose of dangerous chemicals, and I make sure that all of my used batteries are properly disposed, but this one has to take the cake. The NoPoPo batteries are actually powered by urine. Apparently a single urine powered AA battery can power a flashlight for about 20 hours. The battery comes with a plastic pipette that allows you to inject urine into the battery chamber.

I guess drinking all that beer might just have good effects on our environment, the more you drink the more you can power. My fear with that line of thinking is that the more you drink the harder it also becomes to use the pipette properly, nevertheless you can’t win them all. The urine powered battery from NoPoPo is available only in Japan.
