Artificial ‘power plants’ harness energy from wind and rain
Researchers publishing in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering have developed power plants — literally — by creating leaf-shaped nanogenerators to collect energy from wind and rain.
This “power plant,” featuring beige, leaf-shaped generators, can capture energy from gentle breezes and falling raindrops. Researchers developed literal “power plants” — tiny, leaf-shaped generators that create electricity from a blowing breeze or falling raindrops — and described them in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. When the leaf-shaped generators were exposed to conditions mimicking natural wind and rain, they powered 10 LED lights in short flickers.
