How to collect energy from raindrops? 💦 Raindrops falling from the sky can produce a small amount of energy that can be harvested and turned into electricity. Researchers have recently proposed several different devices for harvesting such dispersed hydropower. One of the last inventions is a superhydrophobic magnetoelectric generator (MSMEG)⬆️. It consists of 5️⃣ parts: 📍a superhydrophobic magnetic material-based film (SMMF) 📍a coil 📍a NdFeB magnet 📍an acrylic housing 📍an expandable polystyrene (EPS) base. According to scientists, the MSMEG can quickly charge a commercial capacitor with 2.7 V/1 F to 1.18 V within 200 seconds and power diverse electronic devices, e.g. LEDs and fans. The authors of this study believe that such an MSMEG may provide a promising strategy for efficiently harvesting dispersed raindrop energy. However, there are also opinions that such technologies are difficult to develop on a large scale and have limited practical application. Subscribe- t.me/askmenow
