A step toward harnessing clean energy from falling rainwater

Scientists Found a Way to Turn Falling Rainwater Into Electricity Using a Simple Plastic Tube

It looks like plumbing but acts like a battery.

IIT Bombay scientists develop lotus leaf-like solar evaporators for salt water treatment

A new hydrophobic graphene-based material developed by IIT Bombay scientists could support efforts to address fresh water crisis in the world.

Rain could be a clean way of generating lots of electricity

Water falls on Earth every day as rain, and now scientists seem to have found a way of using it to create renewable electricity

Shocking Simplicity: Scientists Turn Falling Rain Into Renewable Energy

A team of researchers has discovered a clever way to turn falling water droplets – like those from rain – into usable electricity. By channeling droplets through a narrow vertical tube to create “plug flow,” they were able to separate electrical charges and harvest energy with surprising efficiency. This simple setup not only overcame the [...]

A step toward harnessing clean energy from falling rainwater

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some surfaces can gain or lose charge.
