Popis: This paper presents the impact of a new electricity production source: cow urine. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) ratio analysis and its implications applying waste management through recycling process of cow urine are also empirically analyzed in this paper. The proposed model works like a conventional battery system; however, no additional electricity is needed in this system as conventional batteries. Only the continued replacement of a fresh batch of cow urine is required for the system to generate electricity as a ubiquitous energy source. Load factor (λ) of the proposed system is 58.33%, which showed the potentiality of providing electricity in the remote areas through the proposed electricity source. Finally, the prototype result of the proposed system is shown that it is possible to lit up a household with LED lights for 6-8 hours/day using 18 liters of cow urine.
