Abstract: Aquatic Microbial Fuel Cell(AMFC)must be inoculated and work in water environment.Terrestrial Microbial Fuel Cell(TMFC)can overcome the shortcoming.In order to realize the practical application of TMFC,a single-hop Wireless Sensor Network(WSN)powered by a TMFC experimental setup is designed and established.Power generation performance of the TMFC and sensor data acquisition,wireless transmission and processing of the WSN are tested by experiments.Experimental results show that the proposed TMFC can drive the single-hop WSN periodically,which validates the feasibility of TMFC powered WSN.
