IIT Indore Develops Electricity Generator Powered by Water
Scientists at IIT Indore created a device that makes electricity from water and air.
It uses a special membrane to capture energy when water evaporates, creating power for small devices like sensors and lights.
The device works with different water types, indoors, and at night.
The aim is to provide a sustainable power source, especially for areas with limited access to electricity.
They plan to make it cheaper and more effective for wider use.
IIT Indore researchers developed a device that generates electricity using water evaporation.
The device uses a membrane made of graphene oxide and zinc-imidazole.
A single membrane can generate up to 0.75 volts.
The device works with various water types and in different conditions.
Potential applications include powering sensors and emergency lighting.
