Abstract

The paper reports the results of an experiment carried out on a small scale using a bio-photoelectric element (HPV element) of "green energy" in which cyanobacteria act as electron generators. Green moss as an object using photosynthesis was placed in a container over an electrode system. The cathode was represented by a metal container. The anode was made from a thin copper wire with a diameter of 0.4 mm coiled into a flat spiral. The tank was filled with ordinary water, and the electrode terminals immediately showed a potential difference, which in some cases reached 0.5Volts. Thus, using green moss and its ability to actively participate in photosynthesis with the help of cyanobacteria, it has become possible to reproduce the experiment on obtaining "green" energy. As a result of the experiment, it has been established that the resistance values of the BPV element in opposite directions differ, sometimes this difference is quite significant. This is a result of the BPV element’s similarity to the diode. It has also been established that the BPV-element is able to "remember" and for some time "keep" the potential of an external source of the EMF. So, if a short-time external voltage of several volts is applied to the BPV element, regardless of the polarity, after switching off the EMF, the BPV element behaves like a capacitor, i.e. the voltage at its terminals gradually decreases to the initial value. Thus, a possibility of obtaining electric energy on the basis of cheap and simple means has been confirmed, which is very important for areas with a lack of centralized power supply.
