The Dutch designer productof Ermi van Oers created Living Light: plants that produce lighting or light that produces plants?
Any way you see it will impress you. Light is produced from electricity produced by bacteria on the ground.
Let's see how it works:
During the photosynthesis process, plants release organic compounds to the soil. This makes bacteria produce electrons and protons, which are then used in a similar way as a traditional battery.
Follow up: healthier plants produce more energy. If you take care of your plants properly, the Living Light will produce you up to 0,1 mW. Enough to use as a night light, but not enough to properly illuminate a roomeyeThe.
Along with Plant-E, another Dutch business specializing in plant energy, Van Oers is currently looking at ways to increase Living Light's energy efficiency.
"We are now completing the original. Our first batch, which will contain 50 pieces, we hope will be sent to our customers in early 2018. "
