Abstract :Microbial fuel cells are one of the most important issues in today`s science. The studies in the literature on the subject are very limited. Nowadays, research on renewable energy sources brings scientists to the point of obtaining renewable energy sources from microbial fuel cells. In this study, we designed a battery using a microbial fuel cell. The four independent variables taken into account in the experiment are open-circuit voltage, short circuit current, measured voltage when loaded, the current measured when loaded, and dependent variable effect size. The numerical values of the effect size were obtained by using independent variables. Then, the obtained values from the effect size were modeled using Bernstein polynomial. Using the iterative calculations belonging to the Bernstein polynomial in calculations, the error of the model has been reduced to a minimum and thus the estimation model used has been made statistically significant for the effect size.
