Capacitive sensor test
I will probably use this technology for my project.
This the global idea of my project :
Title : Study of electrostatic emission of algae
Theme : living-organism and technology
Living organisms (like animals, bacterias, humans and plants) use complex biological mechanisms to function and low voltage currents is a part of it. We could channel this electricity to interact with it in many forms. Some have already converted a plant into a touch sensor by connecting electrodes to its soil. Others have linked 2 different plants thanks to their electricity emission. A carnivore plant triggers the movement of a touch-me-not plant.
I thought about a way to interact with the photosynthesis of a plant. I’d like to make a system, probably using arduino, that is able to sense the change, produced by the photosynthesis reaction, of the electrostatic emission intensity of an algae. We could imagine triggering something by lighting this organism. Or simply, the light of the day could be the trigger. I would like to use spirulina because it’s a simplified form of vegetal organised as a network and easy to grow and harvest.
Plus, it’s famous to be the food of the future, so I want to get familiar with it. This could help humans to cut themselves from food industry and to be more self sufficient without too much effort.
My research to briefly understand how we can extract live data from living organism :
