His contributions to this area have the potential to impact energy generation in aquatic environments.
Latest Patents
Harold J Bright holds a patent for a method and apparatus for generating power from voltage gradients at sediment-water interfaces. This invention provides a unique approach to harnessing energy from natural voltage gradients that typically exist at and about sediment-water interfaces or within stratified euxinic water-columns. The design involves positioning one electrode (anode) in the sediment or water just below the redox boundary, while the other electrode (cathode) is placed in the water above the redox boundary. The current generated can be sustained by the net oxidation of organic matter, catalyzed by microorganisms, allowing for near-perpetual power generation.
