Collecting electric charge from raindrops.

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Please let this be true. Robert Murray Smith says that research in HongKong suggests that 50W/m2 of surface area could be harvested.

Lots more LEDs here being lit but this time by static electricity derived from the wind.

Hi Stan , really interesting links

And the enthusiasm is inspiring ...

In the Media or documents i read in the past i was told that waterpower "exploitation" is to its limits and i thought "what a nonsense "

Just in the Area in West Cork / Ireland i have not seen any Micro -Hydro Projects , all those farmers over the century , built land-drains on those hills to "cultivate" the land that all drained into a a bigger canal running down the hill

So all that water , that rain brings is just flooded into the sea from the hills , a no brainer that would be to install little micro hydro ideas along the land , it even would slow down water flow , aerate it , generate electricity and in the end just land there where that water would land/end anyhow .... into the Sea
