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 ...

A teen’s $12 ocean-current generator turned moving water into electricity and sparked new ideas for off-grid energy.

Inspired by the classic drinking bird toy, scientists have developed an engine that efficiently converts energy from water evaporation into electricity to power small electronics. The device produces ...

Off-grid coastal communities that rely on weather-dependent solar and expensive diesel to meet their energy needs may soon have a new addition to their power production portfolio: Tidal energy.

Scientists have made efforts to advance a way to convert low-frequency mechanical energy from ocean waves into electricity. Their approach focuses on self-powered ocean grids, distributed marine IoT, ...

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 ...

Moisture-electric generators (MEGs) has emerged as promising green technology to achieve carbon neutrality in next-generation energy suppliers, especially combined with ecofriendly materials. Hitherto ...

Freshwater and electricity are two intertwined fundamental components in the further development of modern society 1,2. The growing population, changing climate and increasing pollution have ...
