Although technology is developing rapidly, one of the biggest problems of humanity is the increasing energy need. In this sense, computers, one of the sine qua non of today’s technology, take the lead. Here are the UK’s University of Campridge researchers to solve this problem photosynthetic and a microprocessor computer designed it. The most important feature of this computer is an endless battery comes with, that is, it does not need energy.
In Turkey, years ago, the energy converter project, which needed a little starting energy, came to the fore. The British seem to have realized the project, which later disappeared, in a different way.
Bill Gates talks about vaccine claims: I have to laugh
What did Bill Gates say about the Covid-19 vaccine? Gates believes it is ‘tragic’ to have microchips inserted into vaccines.
The photosynthesizing computer that comes with an inexhaustible battery gets its power from algae.
The researchers designed a computer powered by algae, or more accurately, algae. Algae have the ability to convert the rays they receive from the sun into energy. In this sense, the researchers used Synechocystis algae, which produces a purer energy.
The cell that powers the computer has about the size of an AA battery. Although it has a very small structure, this structure that produces its own energy is enough to power a microprocessor. Scientists especially think that technology can be used for the internet of things.
This emerging technology that produces energy through photosynthesis is actually a never-ending battery. Technology, which includes a living organism, continues to work continuously with the energy it receives from the sun. Judging by the results, the researchers stated that the photosynthesizing computer system has been working non-stop for a year.
Synechocystis algae in the system do not need any nutrients other than sunlight. Again, these algae continue to produce energy even at night when they cannot reach sunlight.
Researchers frequently used the ARM Cortex M0+ processor in IoT devices to test the system. Algae, which produces electricity for the computer that performs photosynthesis, sends this electric current to the processor through an aluminum electrode.
The researchers tested this system in scenarios with temperature rises and falls and different angles of sunlight. In this sense, the computer performing photosynthesis successfully passed all the tests.
This computer system was developed for smaller systems that can be connected to the internet, such as smart thermostats, tracking devices such as airtags. In this sense, it is more than enough for the cell that produces power by photosynthesis to provide energy only to the processor.
