Revolutionary Electricity Harvesting Method Discovered by Scientists

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered a way to create electricity out of thin air using a process called the "generic Air-gen effect". The material used to extract electricity from the air needs to have nanopores less than 100 nanometers in diameter. The researchers are working on building a man-made cloud that can duplicate the process of lightning. This discovery could open a wide door for harvesting clean electricity from thin air and have profound effects on the future of renewable energy.

"Harvesting Electricity from Thin Air: A Breakthrough Discovery by Scientists"

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a technology that can produce clean energy continuously from humidity in the air. The technology, called the "generic Air-gen effect," is based on a porous structure at the nanoscale that can be incorporated into virtually any material. The device features a thin layer of material replete with nanopores smaller than 100 nm, facilitating water molecules' movement from the top to the bottom, creating a continuously running battery as long as there is humidity in the air. The technology could revolutionize the renewable energy sector and pave the way for a more sustainable future.

Nanotechnology breakthrough generates clean electricity from thin air 24/7.

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered a way to continuously harvest electricity from humidity in the air using a device made of any material with nanopores smaller than 100 nanometers. The device creates a charge imbalance, like that in a cloud, by allowing water molecules to pass through the material, creating a battery that runs as long as there is humidity in the air. The technology could offer cost-effective and environment-adaptable fabrications, and since humidity is ever-present, the harvester would run 24/7, rain or shine, at night and whether or not the wind blows, solving one of the major problems of technologies like wind or solar.

Nanotechnology Generates Electricity from Thin Air

Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a technique for harvesting electricity from air humidity, called the “generic Air-gen effect,” using any material with nanopores less than 100 nanometers in diameter. This technique paves the way for a broad range of cost-effective, continuous electricity generation from various materials, overcoming limitations of condition-dependent renewables like solar and wind power. The Air-gen device would be capable of delivering kilowatt-level power for general electrical utility usage, and many thousands of them can be stacked on top of each other, efficiently scaling up the amount of energy without increasing the footprint of the device.
