Scientists are developing devices that feed on the energy of Rain

Yes, of course, over the past few years created a number of devices, somehow the rain reacting or interacting with these simple weather phenomenon. Today, however, the scientist Jean -Jacques Shell (Jean-Jacques Chaillout) and his colleagues at the French Atomic Energy Commission are busy creating technology that uses the raindrops as a clean energy source. With the help of computer simulation it was found that the device is running on a piezoelectric element, being placed under the rain, is able to extract from the kinetic energy of falling water drops from 1 to 25 nanodzhoulya microjoules electricity.

Of course, even in the aggregate of the amount is too small, and the use of this technology in the industry can not be and speeches. But on the other hand, is completely useless, too, this idea can not be considered, today's scientific studies are often used in sensor devices that consume small amounts of energy, and only then to pass the actual data analysis center. So why not make them self- catering?.
