Indian inventors created an unusual fabric that during drying out produces electricity. According to the developers, this invention will help provide underdeveloped electricity regions of the country. Submits Nano Letters Edition.
Innovative fabric includes special nanotubes and cellulose fibers. The basis for this invention was the study of the process of movement of moisture inside plants, during which salt evaporation occurs.
For the experiment, scientists have developed a simple A device that simulates the movement of moisture in a plant. To the jar with a solution of electrolyte was lowered developed fabric, threaded through a straw. Part of the tissue was immersed in electrolyte, and part stayed outside. While the ionized liquid is moving along channel, its walls were electrified, and at the output of the device there was a slight potential difference (electrical voltage) about 0.7 V.

Inspired by the result, scientists put together 40 similar devices, and received an output of about 12 V. Created design allowed scientists to accumulate the energy needed for 24 hours LED operation for one hour.

Inventors are convinced that the introduction of this technology in less developed areas of India will provide their residents with serious support in electricity supply given that in these areas is very common drying clothes outdoors.
ESOREITER previously talked about an unusual way to get electricity from water that developed a California scientist.
