Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds using nothing more than a small vertical tube and some carefully ...

Rain could one day become a source of clean electricity, according to a group of scientists in Singapore. Their experiments have been able to generate power from water droplets falling through a tube.

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

When a solid and a liquid come into contact, charged entities on both sides push one another apart. This phenomenon is known as charge separation, and it creates an electric double layer—a layer each ...

Every day, vast quantities of rain fall across the planet. Until now, all that energy has simply gone to waste. But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural ...

Tiny drops of water might not seem like powerhouse energy producers, but a new method shows how simple tubes might be able to turn falling rain into an energy source. In tests, the method was able to ...

Scientists have successfully generated electricity from water droplets with high efficiency using a method called plug flow, where water columns with air pockets create charge separation. The new ...

PIKES PEAK, Colo. (KOAA) — Water coming off steep Pikes Peak creates a lot of water pressure and for 100 years the Ruxton Power Plant has been generating electricity from the renewable resource. “It ...

Imagine generating power not from sunlight or wind, but from the simple mixing of fresh and salt water. This is the quiet promise of osmotic energy, a renewable energy source generated where river ...
