Here are a few of the questions we get asked most frequently
about the moss table: What is the Moss Table? The Moss Table is
a concept product which demonstrates a potential future
application of BPV technology. What is BPV? BPV stands for Bio-
Photo-Voltaic. BPV devices generate electricity from light
energy by exploiting the photosynthesis of living organisms such
as cyanobacteria, moss, algae and vascular plants. More
information about BPV technology has been published in Catalyst
Magazine (Bombelli and Driver, 2011), and the Journal of Energy
and Environmental Science (Bombelli et al, 2011; McCormick et
al, 2011). What does the Moss Table do? The table incorporates
an array of BPV devices which generate electricity. At present
the energy generated by the table is not used to power anything.
Instead an animation has been created which responds to the
current output of the table. In this way people can ‘see’ the
energy produced by the table as seen in this video:
