Using Evaporation to Generate Power    Bookmark and Share
444.gifProf. Michel Maharbiz and his group are modeling the behavior of ferns spreading spores to create a device that will generate electricity simply through the process of evaporation. An important future application would be powering remote sensors, relinquishing the need for batteries.
See the group's webpage for articles about the research, including a U-M press release.
