Urine-Powered Generator: A working Demonstration

Few months ago we all got the news that a girl who got motivated after reading news about a family that died as a result of carbon monoxide fumes from their generator, Adebola Duro-Aina was inspired to do something about it. She enlisted three friends - Oluwatoyin Faleke, Eniola Bello and Abiola Akindele, all students between 14 and 15 years old in her science class - to help her find a solution to the problem. The team decided to design a generator that ran off an alternative fuel that wouldn't harm users, and so began the tale of how four teenage girls in Nigeria invented a urine-powered generator to create better - and safer - access to electricity.

She involved mates; Oluwatoyin Faleke, Eniola Bello and Abiola Akindele, all between the age of 14 and 15 and from science class of  Doregos Private Academy Lagos: Website

Demo of a working Generator powered by urine

As this demonstration shows, it was successful, now its time to discuss the benefits, pros and cons of this discovery.
These are some of the questions asked that will enable these young ladies and investors capitalise on this technology, though i'm optimistic that they already have a blueprint.

1. What quantity of urine(litre) will be enough to power same generator for an Hour
2. How can we make this type of generator compact enough (the filters, the Gas and the electrolyte tank)
3. How much will it cost to modify a Generator to be powered with Urine?
4. How much will it take to build a new generator to be powered with Urine?
5. Can same technique be applied for cars?
6. Can same technique be applied for diesel powered machines?
7. Possible options for (Only) Urine collection (maybe extra urine ceramics that outlets to a separate tank.?
