Entropy (s) is a measure of how dispersed energy is or how many possible arrangements particles in a system can have. Systems naturally move towards states with higher entropy, which are more probable. Important ideas to remember about entropy are that entropy increases with disorder or energy

Basically, because of climate change, global warming, and a need for cleaner energy, microbial fuel cells allow electricity to be produced using wastewater bacteria. When bacteria eat food (since living organisms need food to survive), they naturally release electrons. Usually, these electrons just go somewhe

This article explores the possible use of a low voltage booster multiplier, also referred to as an LVBM. To even start explaining what an LVBM is and why it is needed, we need to explore microbial fuel cells. Microbial fuel cells, also called MFCs, are electrochemical systems that can basically turn organic waste into electricity and energy. The s

This is even more clear in that in the past, there have been countless collapses in various bridges leading to countless deaths and casualties. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to see when a bridge starts stretching. To track t
