The researchers made the bacteria turn the huge nanoshesterenku

Scientists have developed a technology that allows you to extract energy from the random motion of bacteria. Article researchers have not yet published in a peer reviewed journal, but its preprint available at arXiv.org.
The object of interest of authors have bacteria Escherichia coli, which can move independently in a liquid medium, using a flagellum. The idea of the researchers was this: if you put in a jar of bacteria, such as gears, then the microorganisms will be able to rotate it, striking the teeth. In this scheme, there is one fundamental flaw: the bacterial cells floating in the vessel uniformly in all directions, so they will rotate the gear wheel in both directions and the resulting torque will be zero.
