Good idea: electricity from compost https://www.euronews.com/2026/08/07/possibility-is-without-limit-japanese-inventor-teases-electricity-out-of-wine-soil-and-fre "Even if it's just a small contribution, I want people to be able to produce their own electricity using the soil around them," the Japanese product designer and engineer told news agency AFP. His system uses the same mechanism as the voltaic pile, the world's first electrical battery giving a continuous current invented in 1799 by Alessandro Volta. It involves inserting electrodes made of materials such as zinc and copper into substances that contain moisture or ions, and then collecting the small but steady electrical currents. #compost, #electricitygeneration, #japan
