British startup Bactery says its battery, powered by bacteria, uses nature’s microbes to generate an unending trickle of power—and by stringing the prototypes together they can generate a stream.



Bactery founder and CEO Jakub Dziegielowski says the device complements standard renewable systems like solar, especially because it draws power even when the sun isn’t shining.

“In the labs we have six-times more powerful systems,” Jakub told Reuters News in a video about how it works. (Watch below…)

“The end goal is to get to 4 watts per cubic meter.”

The device is designed to be maintenance-free, and have a 30-year lifespan.

“You can scale the devices bigger and have them installed fully underground.

“Then you take an averaged size garden and all of a sudden you can offset most of your household electricity bills with your garden—all year round.”
