How? They successfully removed all metals from the solar cell. A [...]
Harvesting energy from vehicle air flow using piezoelectrics
Image via Wikipedia
Previously, we’ve looked at technology to generate electricity from roads embedded with piezoelectric crystals that produce electricity when squeezed. Now a group of researchers is looking to shift the technology from the road to the vehicles themselves and use piezoelectrics placed on the vehicles to convert their kinetic energy into electricity.
About a half-inch [...]
