Rain Power: Harvesting Energy from the Sky
PhysOrg.com Jan. 22, 2008
*************************
Researchers have developed a system
able to recover the vibration energy
from a falling raindrop as it
impacts a piezoelectric structure.
The CEA/Leti-Minatec R&D institute
scientists found that the system
could recover up to 12 milliwatts
from one large raindrop. The system
could become an alternative to solar
power systems in raining...
