"One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses," said Gerardine Botte, a professor at Ohio University developing the technology. "Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/08/urine-power.html"><P>own fuel."</p> <P><A target="_blank" href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/pee_powered_bat.php" linkindex="123">Pee power</A> is based on hydrogen, the most common element in the universe but one that has resisted efforts to produce, store, transport and use economically.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2009/07/08/urine-power.html">Botte's current prototype measures 3x3x1 inch and can produce up to 500 milliwatts of power.
