The bio-fuel-cell slide, taken apart layer by layer.

Your six-film design as an interactive stack: a CO₂-fed microbial cell on a microscope slide, from the cool ITO/perovskite cover down to the paramagnetic basalt base — with the Tesla-valve LED channel, curved-copper inductive coupling, and the honeycomb graphene bioenergy zone drawn in. Drag to orbit, pull it apart, toggle the optional PEM. Surfaces use the microscopic-topographic texture set.

01 — The stackSix films and an optional membrane

Hover a film in the stage or pick one from the list to read its material, feature and role. The stack is drawn top-down: L1 is the lid, L6 the chassis. The PEM sits between L3 and L4 and is only drawn in PEM mode.

Membraneless or PEM

Drop the composite PEM in to run a separated cell — it passes protons and blocks crossover. Leave it out to run membraneless on the co-laminar biozone. That switch is what makes the slide multi-use.

Where the current goes

The biofilm on the graphene honeycomb (L2–L3) oxidises CO₂/organics and passes H⁺ through the zone; the wavy copper cathodes (L4) close the circuit and, shaped as curves, double as the inductance path. Induction loops under the heat sink (L5) move power off-chip wirelessly to a receiver coil — no through-glass wiring — with the basalt base (L6) as the magnetic return.

03 — How it goes liveThis becomes a real R3F explorer beside the platform-stack hero

On the site the films become textured planes in WebGL — trackball orbit, scrub explode, click a layer to fly the camera in, and animate the signatures: co-laminar flow and LEDs pulsing down the Tesla-valve channel, electrons hopping the graphene honeycomb, and flux lines breathing around the copper induction coils. Same canvas texture-maps you see here.

What this page is and is not

A concept explorer drawn per FIG. 5 (v2): it shows stack order and each film's role. No electrochemical performance figures are modelled or claimed here.
The surface textures are procedural canvas noise standing in for the microscopic-topographic texture set, not micrographs of real films.
The WebGL (R3F) build described above is the next step, not something this page contains.
