Researchers from the University of Bristol have decided that simple batteries are not good enough and have taken it upon themselves to create Ecobot III – which draws its power through “digesting” sewage water and then dumping the waste.

Ecobot III, also known as the BREADbot (Bio-Regulation and Energy-Autonomy with Digestion), draws power from 48 Microbial Fuel Cells that are refilled with digested nutrients that flow through an artificial stomach, then after 24 hours it does a poo.
