Coffee Batteries: New Alternative Energy Sources

Technological developments in recent years began to break out in the field of empowerment of alternative energy sources. One of them is to use coffee as an energy source. Currently, the latest technologies being developed in order Nespresso Capsules can be mass produced and cheap. Nespresso Capsules is an energy-efficient batteries that use coffee as basic materials. The idea of ​​environmentally friendly battery invention was first conceived by Mischer Traxler.

The structure of these alternative energy sources consist of aluminum capsule, with a strip of copper, salt water, and of course coffee grounds. The working principle is also quite simple battery, aluminum serves as the anode, and copper as the cathode, while the salt water serves as the electrolyte. It could be said of chemical processes in batteries is similar to the workings of a car battery.

In a fairly simple chemical process, each battery is capable of generating electrical energy by 1.5 to 1.7 volts, the equivalent of AA size batteries that we often use. So later energy-efficient battery is expected to replace the standard battery. As we know, the conventional battery energy sources we use now have a fairly basic ingredients harmful to the environment.

The battery-powered coffee is already tested its use in Venice Design Week, in which 700 copies battery is capable of giving power for hours at the festival technologies. Currently, the battery performance is being under development. The hope, one day this battery can also replace the battery system is more complicated as the use of information technology products, including laptop battery or batteries for mobile phones.
