In an advance that could deliver a constant stream of sustainable electricity, scientists have developed Air-gen, a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from air moisture.

Next, they will tell us that Tesla might have been right.
Sounds kinds passive.
It won’t work. Democrats will tell us it’s harming the moisture.
Moisture will have to be banned then.
Then air.
Another phoney looking for idiots to invest in him.
When you need electricity, you turn on the tap and run the water through a tiny hydroelectric dam.
Isn’t moisture made up of the dangerous solvent dihydrogen monoxide? Somebody needs to call the EPA, wake the president up from his nap, do something!!
Rube Goldberg approves.
Unless it can be taxed.
Water has volume, there fore the “battery” must continue to expand. Or does the “battery” get rid of the water it absorbs; where does the energy come from to “dry out” the battery?
perpetual motion machines don’t exist.
The comments at the site are over 3 years old why post it now.
You mean I can pish into the air and recharge my EV ?
WOOT! (SARC.)
Whatever you do, don’t eat the yellow snow.
“Another phoney looking for idiots to invest in him.”
I’ve met Derek Lovley and he is a capable scientist and definitely not a phoney. That being said this article is 3 years old and I’m skeptical about the practicality of such a generator in real world applications.
Probably has no real usefulness - if it ever does, they will start to tax moisture and natural proteins...đ
“current density of around 17 microamperes per square centimetre.”
If my math is correct, it would take a 7.8 by 7.8 foot panel to produce 1 amp.
The EPA will declare the moisture in the air as being ‘wet lands’ ant there for protected
Not banned, taxed. The more humid southern states will receive .gov humidity tax aid and the drier western states will have an Arid Tax to pay for it.
Iâm still betting on cold fusion (sarcasm). Interesting how these âbreakthroughsâ never seem to pan out or advance beyond small laboratory experiments that could never be scaled up to any useful level. We have decades of experience with generating limitless carbon free electricity in nuclear power yet the greens would have us blighting the landscape with fickle windmills or putting our trust in highly toxic batteries that are prone to unquenchable fires.
