Paper Battery

Sony has created a battery that is fueled by paper. This is awesome because it shows that there are more eco-friendly options out there and we should be exploring them. I still say save the trees. Old newspapers, magazines, and school work can be used to power these batteries, and we all know there are tons of those laying around.


The battery is powered by glucose. It's produced when the paper is broken down by an enzyme suspended in water. While this battery is still in development, it has been used to power a small fan. This is the start of new power sources.
