Eco Harvesting
Have you ever though “oh it would be sooo...... cool if a Nanogenerator would be able to power electrical devices so it would develop our environment” of course you have! And I am going to make your dreams come true, because they are true, I will explain to you why they are true.
The laboratory of Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Tech, discovered that the blinking number on a small LCD signals the success of a five-year effort to power conventional electronic devices with nanoscale generators that harvest mechanical energy from the environment using an array of tiny nanowires. The mechanical energy is able to fit in between your finger (it is very small). These sources of energy could be used to power nanoscale and microscale devices and even to recharge pacemakers or iPods. "By simplifying our design, making it more robust and integrating the contributions from many more nanowires, we have successfully boosted the output of our nanogenerator enough to drive devices such as commercial liquid-crystal displays, light-emitting diodes and laser diodes," stated Wang. Recent improvements in the nanogenerators, including a simpler fabrication technique, were reported online last week in the journal Nano Letters.
Conclusion
In conclusion I believe that this could really improve our environment because of all the energy. This device can power every day materials without hurting the Economy which in my opinion is very helpful, this product would also be cheap (affordable) which is great again for the Economy.
