This work combines various power generation mechanisms: fuel cells that utilize microorganisms coexisting with plants, algae fuel cells using photosynthesis, and fuel cells employing water electrolysis. Plant growth is enhanced by electrical stimulation, as the weak electricity generated by each fuel cell is returned to the plants. This study offers an opportunity to reconsider the ideal form of circulation and the existing relationship between human-used electricity and nature.
