Photos and Videos of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) and the BEAMR systems researched in the Logan lab (updated 4-22-2005)
	This is the bio-electochemically  assisted microbial reactor (BEAMR) demonstrating the feasibility of generating hydrogen from any biodegradable organic matter.  See the publication by Liu, Grot and Logan (2005, in press) for more information
Click here for video of a MFC that runs a small fan	Click on the link to the left to view a video of a new microbial fuel cell that we built that is shown powering a small fan.
	This is a 28-ml microbial fuel cell, that is operated in batch mode, is being used to examine a variety of factors that affect power generation.  See publications by Liu and Logan (2004), and Liu et al. (2004, in press)
	This flat plate microbial fuel cell, that operates in continuous flow mode, has a proton exchange membrane sandwiched between two carbon paper electrodes.  Channels are drilled to that the flow follows a serpentine path through the system. See paper by Min & Logan (2004).
	This is a conventional two-chamber microbial fuel cell.  In this setup, both chambers are gas sparged: one with nitrogen to maintain anaerobic conditions in the chamber where the bacteria grow (anode); the other with air to provide oxygen in solution (cathode).
	Same as the above cell, except the anode chamber is filled with a wastewater solution.
	This is the Single Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (SCMFC) described in our ES&T paper (Liu et al. 2004, ES&T). Here is the SCMFC is empty-- note the central cathode tube running down the center.
	Same as above, but filled with wastewater.
	A data logging multimeter is used to monitor voltage in the circuit containing a resistor.  From the voltage and resistor information, we can calculate total power output by the system.
