I feel credit should also be given to Dr. Derek Lovely (University of Massachusetts, Amherst & Naval Research Laboratory) who has been studying "Geobacters" for well over ten years. (Refer to Scientific American Magazine or USA Today). In fact my daughter did her Grade 8 Science Fair Project on mud batteries in 2002, inspired by Dr. Lovely's fascinating work. Wonderful that scientists are taking this to the next level. I’m thrilled to hear that extremophiles are being put to good work!

Why won't it power a netbook? Water+salt? Plus wires? Are there any downsides?
Why won’t it power a netbook?
Water+salt?
Plus wires?

Not a bad idea at all! How well it would work in a midwestern winter? Wow- it doesn’t sound all that hard to build. Not a bad idea at all! How well it would work in a midwestern winter?

I wonder if there's potential for the batteries to provide power for larger devices (like computers) as well. Interesting!
