Scientists have developed a generator that is capable of producing electricity from the water. Imagine if your umbrella served source of electricity. How many interesting of opportunities. For example, charge a smartphone or light a dark road section.
Despite the fact that there are many others in the world eco-friendly methods of generating electricity, this method as an additional source of energy, according to scientists, will help overcome the energy crisis on our planet.

The developers have created a special coating, composition and technology. the manufacture of which, while kept secret. It is only known that just one drop of water can power about 100 LEDs light bulbs, for example, 4 drops of water – 1,500 LED lamps. The instantaneous power generated by the generator is several thousand times more than similar devices, while not having such unique coverage.
One of the authors of the innovative generator, Professor Xiao Chen Zeng reported that for every raindrop accounted for more electrical power, so this system works much more effective.
In addition, the high efficiency of the device is not provided only due to the coating itself. Researchers have paid attention to that the peak of electric power was observed at the moment when the drop spread after the time of the blow, and not during it. It turns out collapsed drop touches the aluminum electrode closes chain. According to the inventors, the drop performs the function resistor, and the coating is a capacitor. This circumstance allows you to save an electric charge on the surface of special coating, and release it at the time of dripping.
Professor Zuankai, the head of research Wang said the generator is capable of generating electricity from water waves, for example, in water pipes.
