The bioluminescent bacteria is kept in a wall of hand-blown glass cells. It is also connected to a food source at the base through thin silicon tubes. The food of the bacteria comes in the form of methane gas. This gas is obtained by converting solid bathroom waste and vegetable trimmings using the methane digester located in Philips' bio-digester kitchen island. The kitchen island is the main hub of the Microbial Home, said the report.
The Bio-light would be operative as long as there were a supply of nutrients. It is worth mentioning here that the resulting light is not bright enough to illuminate an entire room. According to Philips, the Bio-light can be used well to power night-time road markings, warning strips for planes and stairs. |
