The group of researchers from University of Pennsylvania in the USA in laboratory terms created microorganism, capable straight to produce ecologically net electricity and to convert carbon dioxide and water into methane. Nature invented an unique method to keep electricity yet milliards of years back, on sunset the origin of earthly life. Bacteria which under act of electric current are able
energy sources. So the specialists
these bacteria with success
gas methane in bogs and on
in times anymore, here electric tension comes forward as
weak digit of current of bacterium select the tiny bubbles of methane, the two-bit of electrons is saved in which. Logan and his colleagues discovered that, if to inflict the layer of bacteria on a cathode and expose to them influence of weak tension, then they are covered
by the layer of tiny methane bubbles.Following the own way of evolutional development, metanobakterii learned to accumulate electricity due to chemical properties of methane. Thus efficiency of such method of storage is equal to the unbelievable index in 80
percents. None of the heat-sink devices created by a man not to be compared with by natural adaptability – considerable part of energy disappears, expended on overcoming of resistance, warming and side e
on the way of creation of new methods of storage of energy, where able to convert electricity into biotoplivo», — professor Bryus Logan comments the result of researches. Although the got technology can not be added on the effective methods of fight against a hotbed effect
(methane is dangerous for an earthly atmosphere in a not less degree, what carbon dioxide), metanobakterii can save sun, vetryanuyu and flood-tide energy with a much less prime price, what traditional batteries. are to one of the most ancient kinds
organisms on Earth and conduct the filiation from the first one-celled creatures. Exactly metanobakterii produce characteristic for bogs fumes with the stifling unpleasant smell of methane. The climate of Earth was formed at direct participation of ancient metanobakteriy.
Methane is considered one of main hotbed gases - from the ability to take in a caloradiance and retain thus warmly in an atmosphere. In a modern atmosphere him far less than, than, for example, carbon dioxide or water, but he could in antiquity
to play a decision role.The first producers of methane arose up about three milliards of years back - that on one and a half milliards of years later, than planet was formed. Alike microorganisms scientists hope to find on other bodies of the Planetary system - in particular, on
sputnike of Saturn Titan, considerable part of atmosphere of which consists of methane.
