Live radio uses plants as biological solar batteries. To do this, the team invented a special photomicrobiology fuel cell. In the first apparatus, presented to the public, used moss, but in principle, according to the experts, any photosynthesizing plant can be used as an energy element.
But moss was chosen for a reason — in the process of photosynthesis of the moss is the generation of electricity was particularly effective. In addition, the moss is fairly stable, but does not like direct sunlight. The cathode is located directly at the transmitter. In the interaction of produced electricity. Experts think that the future of these technologies, and biological solar panels soon will develop faster.

For example, rice fields can be a wonderful source of energy. In the present instance the first time the receiver was working one minute and twenty seconds. This is the first photomicrobiology use of fuel cells for power generation in the quantitative measurement more than is required for the LCD screen.
