I guess it wasn’t a high school student- but all the same, it sounds a little too similar to be unique.

I bet they are using the natural bacteria that begins to form with decaying biological waste. If it's just an alteration of a previous design, they don't deserve recognition. wasn’t there a highschool student who created a product, just like this one, using water rich in bacteria?

Cool idea, can't imagine why it couldn't be refined to be more efficient, given time & some R&D money. @ Conor: What a short-sighted moron.

All the groundskeepers can just empty their waste into it and provide me with free cell phone electricity. That would help shrink the footprint a little, no?

Novel idea, but clearly impractical in the best of scenarios. 100x the efficiency would mean that a cell phone could be charged in 2 days rather than 180 days, but how big would the machien be?
