Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a promising technology that converts organic waste into electrical energy through bacterial activity. The process involves capturing a low voltage of approximately 0.4 V generated by the MFC using a small capacitor, which is then stored and transferred to a larger capacitor to increase the capacity. In order for this energy to be used for general AC-powered devices, an inverter is essential to convert the DC output to AC. This system, consisting of a series of capacitors and inverters, along with voltage dampers and rectifiers, forms a circuit that can potentially function as an efficient low-power generator. The effectiveness of this arrangement remains to be tested, which will determine its viability as a renewable energy storage solution.
