Urine powered fuel cells are set to light up refugee camps
Pavement side walls in Bangalore and other Indian Metros can become powerhouses if this prototype from Bristol proves its mettle.

A university urinal is being used to test the effectiveness of urine-powered microbial fuel cells.
The prototype toilet is the result of a partnership between researchers at the West of England (UWE Bristol) and Oxfam. It is hoped the urine-power technology will light cubicles in refugee camps, which are often dark and dangerous places particularly for women.
