Good morning and welcome to Newsround - you're live with me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Huge celebrations for the Leicester team... | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
and could your wee be powering your house? | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
First, the city of Fort McMurray in the province of Alberta | :00:13. | :00:28. | |
in Canada has been evacuated because of a huge wildfire. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
The fires, which have been made worse by winds, | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
sent ash raining down on the people who live there, and some homes | :00:38. | :02:37. | |
Manchester City need a win or a score draw against Real Madrid to | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
see them through to their first-ever Champions League final. But they | :02:43. | :02:43. | |
will have to do it away Champions League final. But they | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
The winners face Atletico Madrid in the finals. | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
Now, we've talked about pooh power before on Newsround - yes, pooh - | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
being used to power everything from heating to the gas we use | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Who'd have thought you could turn this... | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Every day, nearly 10 billion litres of urine is produced worldwide. | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
That's enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-sized pools. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
And here in Bath, they are using urine to do | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
This is possible by using this device. | :03:20. | :03:32. | |
Inside the device there are bacteria eating the urine | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
And those electrons are forced to flow through an external circuit. | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
It's this flow of electrons that is actually electricity. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
This technology isn't new, but what's different about this | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
device is that it's smaller, cheaper and more powerful. | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
Well, because this is a fuel that we'll never run out of. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Every day, we produce something like a litre and a half of urine. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Could I use this to power my phone one day? | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
This is what we're working on at the moment, to be able | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
to generate enough power for a smartphone, a laptop | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
OK, so powering my phone isn't the most important thing, | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
of course, but it's hoped, one day, this technology could be | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
used to provide electricity to people in poorer countries. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
So, next time you go to the loo, you can have a think | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
about how your wee could be powering the future. | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
Just time to say, "May the 4th be with you!" | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
We're celebrating with a special quiz, so head to the CBBC website | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
