A Single Moving Drop To Produce Power!
Researchers from #-Link-Snipped-# have come up an easy, effective energy-yielding device that employs the motion of a lone droplet to produce electrical power. As per the statement, this new technology could be the answer to power supply for low-power handheld devices, and woud even yield energy satisfactorily from low-frequency mediums like the human body. This technology has made its way into the  #-Link-Snipped-#. The device supposedly produces power as an electrically conductive droplet (mercury or even an ionic liquid) moves along a thin micro-assembled material known as an electret film, which features an enduring electric charge established into it in the course of accumulation.

Repeated tilting of the device leads to the droplet gain momentum across the film’s surface; the maximum output voltage (and power) appear as the gliding droplet attains its highest velocity at one extremity of the film. The model of the fluid-energy yielder exhibited a maximum output power at 0.18 microwatts, having employed a droplet 1.2mm in diameter gliding over a 2?m-broad electret film.
