Chocolate-eating bugs provide fuel of the future

Chocoholic germs can provide hydrogen, the clean-burning energy of the future, New Scientist reports.

British scientists fed Escherichia coli bacteria a diluted mix of waste caramel and nougat.

The germs tucked into the sugar and in the process produced hydrogen, using their own enzyme, called hydrogenase.

The hydrogen was used to power a fuel cell, generating enough electricity to drive a small fan.

Take care,

Gordon

Someone said, "Eat chocolate and drive". Is that the answer?

Take care,
