Fed up of having to replace batteries often? Worried that your kids might pick one up and play? Taiwan’s Prof. Chungpin Hovering Liao of National Formosa University invented world’s first chlorophyll organic battery that will drive your fears away. You know what this battery does? It turns any liquid into electricity, be it water or urine or coffee!

This wonder battery takes just 10 seconds time after it is soaked in any liquid top start generating power. They do not contain any harmful chemicals like the usual batteries do and can be manufactured at a mere price of 0.03-0.06 US dollars. It can also hoard more energy compared to the Japanese water powered cells. But, when we are considering them for use, the fact that these batteries are capable of generating only half the power an ordinary battery can produce may force us to have second thoughts.

Liao is at present is applying in Taiwan and the United States for patents. There is time before these batteries will be available in the market for use, so may be they’ll get better by then.
