Self-charging battery generates electricity from moisture in the air

OK so it's small now, but that's how solar started too.

Key points:

    "Self-charging batteries" convert the chemical energy of water into electricity
    Researchers at UNSW have developed units able to power small electronic devices
    A commercial version will be ready by the end of the year

Sounds like it's only flea power but it's still interesting.

is that going to be your answer to everything you idiot?

When someone is trying new technology they don't typically go for scale. They build the smallest working unit they can until they get the technology right, then they go for scale.

Usually the demonstration project is large enough to drive a motor etc that can be seen running not a micro-solution.

"Then earlier this year, a team at the University of New South Wales announced they had found a way to significantly boost electrical output — using atom-thick layers of graphene oxide in a pancake stack a fraction of a millimetre thick."

John,
you are not supposed to be posting in the Environment forum.
You also broke the ad hominem rule.    :-[
