6 Uses For Pee That You Probably Didn’t Know

About Throughout the years, we
have shown you how people
are using animal and human
urine in surprisingly
innovative ways. This humble
yellow liquid—a by-product secreted by our kidneys—has
proven to be an extremely
versatile and affordable
source of sustainable power as
well as a vehicle for
experimental design.

 We have compiled a list of 6 amazingly
bizarre examples of its potential uses, including its
uses as a power source, for
making furniture, cooking
eggs, or heating up an entire
house. It’s amazing how
useful urine has turned out to be! For Heating The Barn House in Japan’s
Memu Meadows is an award-
winning experimental
dwelling heated by urine.
Designed by Keio University’s
Co+Labo department, it shelters two humans and two
horses, producing heating and
organic plant fertilizer from
the equines’ pee. For Seating The Dupe stool is a surprisingly
sturdy, compostable seat
made from bacteria, sand, and pee. Created by UK art student
Peter Trimble using a self-
made machine, this low-cost, low-energy sandstone design
is the result of a biological
reaction and can be broken up
and used as fertilizer at the
end of its lifetime. Culinary Uses “Virgin Eggs” are a very
strange Chinese delicacy made
by boiling chicken eggs in
urine collected from boys
under the age of 10. A
traditional springtime snack from the city of Dongyang,
this dish is said to have
magical nutritional qualities
that help to boost the immune
system. For Creating False Teeth False teeth have always been
made from all sorts of
materials—like animal bones,
wood or gold— but scientists
have now crafted the very
first urine-based teeth. Created by a research team at the Guangzhou
Institutes of
Biomedicine and Health, the
innovative process consists of
growing a tiny tooth-like
structure from stem cells
harvested from urine, and mixed with other organic
material. To Power Phones While the idea of a pee-
powered phone might sound
gross, the good part is that it
doesn’t require special
atmospheric conditions like the sun or wind to work.
Developed by a team of
scientists at Bristol Robotics
Laboratory, the world’s first
pee-powered cell phone uses a
system based on microbial fuel cells (MFCs) that feast on
urine, creating electricity as a
by-product. FOR THE ENTIRE ARTICLE
