Scientists Develop Drinking Bird Clean Energy Generator That Harvests Electricity from Water Evaporation
• Scientists have developed a new clean energy generator inspired by the drinking bird toy that powers gadgets using water evaporation • The generator works by converting the kinetic energy from the bird's dipping motion into electricity • Evaporation is a process that naturally occurs on Earth when sunlight warms water, releasing energy • Capturing evaporation energy could present a renewable electricity opportunity, using readily available water • The new method generates more power from evaporation than previous experiments, with potential to efficiently power watches, phones, etc.
