For many years, humanity has tried many methods such as dams, hydroelectric power plants and nuclear power plants to meet its electricity needs. However, since our planet is rapidly polluted due to the wastes created by these methods, efforts to produce “clean energy” by using solar and wind energy continue today.
As a result of long research, Australian scientists discovered a way to generate electricity from the air. Yes, the weather we know.
It can be a pioneer in unlimited and clean energy production
According to the information in the scientific article published in the journal Nature, a team from Monash University in Melbourne discovered in their research that an enzyme found in an ordinary bacteria found in all kinds of soil produces electric current by consuming the atmosphere.
Researchers have determined that this enzyme, called Huc, can only produce enough electricity for bacteria, and they say that with enough enzymes, they can provide electricity to gigantic cities, countries and even the whole world with clean energy.
Stating that the enzyme produces electric current by consuming hydrogen atoms in the air, scientists state that this bacterium can survive in places such as volcanic craters and deep seas where hydrogen is partially less.
They also state that in experiments on the enzyme, the enzyme consumes 0.00005% of the oxygen that humans consume in one breath, hydrogen. In other words, the amount of energy required for billions of Hucs to produce electricity is equivalent to the amount of hydrogen consumed by a few people in 1 room in 1 hour.
In stability experiments on Huc, it is stated that Huc enzymes can be stored in freezer cabinets for days or even weeks and can fulfill the role of “natural battery” without losing its ability to provide electricity up to 80 degrees Celsius. It has also been announced that these enzymes can be reproduced effortlessly in the laboratory environment and that the produced Hucs’ ability to generate electricity is preserved.
The head of the research team, Dr. “Once we produce enough Huc, the sky will be the only limit to produce clean energy,” Rhys Grinter said in his statement.
