There urine-powered generator exactly works:
- The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
- The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
- Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
- This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.
As the Next Web portrays it, the Maker Faire is planned to highlight creations "that solve immediate challenges and issues, and afterward works to support and propagate them. Put an additional way, this isn't only a bunch of rich individuals discussing how their applications are set to change the planet."
