As our consumption of power increases day by day, it is important for the companies to develop or find an alternative source. Thus Sony unveils a battery which runs on sugar and generates electricity. The prototype developed was enough to power up a music player along with small speakers. It works by pouring liquid sugar into the unit which then breaks the enzymes to generate electricity.
The new sugar batteries can save a lot of energy as sugar is available almost everywhere, save from pollution because of its environmental friendly nature and above all, it is a renewable resource. Sony plans to produce thesenbatteries for commercial use soon.

Sony电池耍新招：糖动力，甜蜜蜜
眼下能源日渐消耗，各大公司对新能源的开发就凸显重要了。Sony的糖动力电池应运而生。研制出的样品足以“喂饱”带小喇叭的MP3播放器。它的工作原理是：将液态糖倒入容器，分解成酶，并由此产生电力。
新型的糖动力电池大大节省了能源，因为糖随处都有，而且自然环保不会造成污染，最重要的是，可以再生。Sony计划不久以后将该电池投入商业运作。
