Continuity-on-the-Go

How can we create things on the go? How can we start to build a portable physical computing studio? Continuity-on-the-go is a wearable multimeter powered by microbial fuel cells.  This device will allow the wearer to test materials they find around them to see if they will be useable for different electronic projects. 

What are Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)?

MFCs convert organic matter to electricity using different types of bacteria, such as those found in muck by a river.  When placed in an anaerobic setting with electrodes, the bacteria transfer electrons produced from consumption to an anode or cathode.
