Notes:
A biobattery of a new type in which pH difference between two media serves as a source of free energy is described. The ability of some algae and other water plants to change markedly the pH of their surroundings according to the light conditions can be used to maintain two solutions at widely differing pH values. Electrical energy may be obtained from this source as a by-product to biomass production.
