  '''Microbial fuel cells (MFC) / mud cells:'''
with Sunjoo Lee & Anna Pastor
  - fuel cell system powered by bacteria (or other microorganisms)
  - convert chemical energy to electrical energy
  - produce very little, precious electric current
  - energy can accumulate over time (and multiple cells) and discharge at once


  '''Useful species of bacteria:'''
2025-09-19 to 2025-10-25 @ iMal (& CCU)
  - ''Clostridium butyricum'': common fermenting bacteria found in cheese, soil and the human gut
  - ''Shewanella oneidensis'': versatile bacteria
  - ''Aeromonas hydrophilia'': aquatic bacteria, can metabolise many fuels
  - ''Geobacter metallireducens'': breaks down toxic chemicals, therefore useful in bioremediation
  - ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'': breaks down toxic chemicals, therefore useful in bioremediation

  The Miller Solar Engine: yet another way to use a 1381 voltage defector
 
  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa LoRa]: radio wave communication technique; LoRaWAN (long range wide area network): wireless, low-power communication protocol
 
  '''Mud cells > Capacitor > Switch > Arduino'''
  - mud generates electricity
  - mud sends data (temperature, time frames)
 
  '''Discussion: What can be done with the tiny amount of electricity and the data from the mud?'''
  - Generate a poem that grows over time: can either be online (on a website [on demand], sent via a mailing list) or local / "off the grid" (on an e-ink display, written into the sand with a plotter, on a USB stick...)
  - Extract sounds from the mud and play them with the help of the electricity
  - Think about collaboration and collectivity!
