Transcript First Team Project Poster

Americans purchase 3 billion batteries
a year, use them, and then throw them
into a land fill.
Batteries contain heavy metalsmercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel –
which are left in these landfills to leak
into the environment. These metals can
have a permanent environmental
impact.

Team BioVolt will design a microbial
fuel cell, commonly called a “biobattery,” which will use bacteria and
purely organic compounds to create
power. The only emission from this
battery will be clean carbon dioxide.

Andrew Huizenga, Lindsay Arnold, Diane
