Trophos Energy, get energy from soil, wastewater or microbes

Very interesting! 
Get ENERGY from WASTE WATER, SOIL or HUMAN BODY's MICROBES!!

Trophos Energy, Inc. was founded in 2008 to research, develop and commercialize low cost, reliable remote energy harvesting systems based on Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology. MFCs draw their energy from the natural metabolism of indigenous microbes, offering years of reliable, maintenance-free operation in organic-rich environments. Trophos' power management systems operate indefinitely when placed in soil, marine sediment or wastewater where solar, battery or other power sources may be technically or cost prohibitive.

Trophos leverages its proprietary technology to deliver power to wireless communication and sensor networks, offering new opportunities for military, water utility and industrial monitoring applications. Other applications include wastewater treatment and bio-remediation.
