Abstract

In this research work it was possible to obtain an average of 6.76 volts, placing 8 biological cells of four different species of plants (Geranium, Corn, Phytonia and Heart of Jesus), which are very common and can be found in the streets of the city of Trujillo, Peru. These biological cells were manufactured using electrodes (zinc and copper) as anode and cathode, placing them in series to obtain the highest possible voltage; voltage measurements were taken in three different parts of the day over a period of 30 days. Giving this a renewable and environmentally friendly energy option for free and easily usable electricity in remote cities.
