They create a device that generates clean energy “out of nothing”

The amazing technology to generate electricity from the air and that’s how it works.

researchers they have created a kind of clean energy generating device electricitycapable of using a network of nanowires to convert ambient humidity in the air into synthetic thunderstorms.

Scientists refer to this invention as a device capable of creating small-scale clouds built by humans, capable of producing electricity in a predictable manner and for a wide variety of situations.

This device, which they call air genebelieve that it can be valid for any type of environment, from the Amazon jungle to the Sahara.

“The air contains a huge amount of electricity.”, comment The doctor. Jun Yao from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “Think of a cloud, which is nothing more than a mass of water drops”.

“Each of those droplets contains a charge, and when the conditions are right, the cloud can produce lightning.“, Add, “but we don’t know how to reliably capture electricity from lightning”.

“The 100nm size is so important to the process because it scales to what chemists know as the mean free path: the distance a single water vapor molecule can float in air before colliding with another.“, Explain.

The devices could be stacked on top of each other and could generate more than 1 kW of energy per cubic meter

The Air-gen system creates a charge imbalance as the top end of the pore system accumulates a charge in contrast to the bottom end, just like the two sides of a battery.

“Literally any type of material can collect electricity from the air, as long as it can be molded into the tiny 100nm pore system.”, he clarifies.

Not only do you consider that your device could be used in a wide variety of conditions, but it can still work 24/7.

He further claims that the devices could be stacked on top of each other and could generate more than 1 kW of energy per cubic meter of space.
