Chinese scientists have recently unveiled a floating hydrovoltaic generator that converts the energy of falling raindrops directly into electricity while resting on water surfaces. Designed at the ...

The researchers set out to explore whether simple ingredients – silicon and water – could be arranged so that mechanical ...

The conventional droplet electricity generator (C-DEG) uses a metal bottom electrode and a rigid substrate, and is generally employed on land. In contrast, the new water-integrated floating droplet ...

Traditionally, most of the small hydro electricity generators are designed with “drop” type. If there is a need for a man-made gap, it will require the corresponding civil building. To improve the ...

A novel solar energy system is integrated with a compact thermoelectric generator to conduct electricity. It’s another stepping stone on the path to self-charging electronics. Researchers have ...

Wave Swell Energy's remarkable UniWave 200 is a sea platform that uses an artificial blowhole formation to create air pressure changes that drive a turbine and feed energy back to shore. After a year ...

Inspired by the classic drinking bird toy, scientists in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China have developed an engine that efficiently converts energy from water evaporation into electricity to power small ...

A power outage isn't fun and can be a real pain. If you live in an at-risk area, you might want to consider one of these home generator options. There are a number of factors to consider when shopping ...
