lecture room.“i wanted to find a channel to make my voice heard，” han said.“since there were too few chances to do this in the traditional way，i tried to figure out a wild way，and it worked.”han takes

as smuggled(走私的)radioactive materials.the us.forest service currently predicts and tracks fires with a variety of tools，including remote automatic weather stations.but these stations are expensive and sparsely(稀疏地)distributed.additional sensors could save trees by providing better local climate data to be used in fire prediction models and earlier warnings.however，recharging or replacing batteries by hand at very hardtoreach locations makes it impractical and costly.the new sensor system seeks to avoid this problem by developing trees into a selfsustaining power supply.each sensor is equipped with a battery that can be slowly recharged using electricity produced by the tree.“a single tree doesnt generate a lot of power，but over time the trickle(细流)charge adds up，just like _” said shuguang zhang，one of the researchers on the project and the associate director of the mits center for biomedical engineering(cbe)the system produces enough electricity to allow the temperature and humidity sensors to wirelessly send out signals four times a day，or immediately if theres a fire.each signal spreads from one sensor to another，until it reaches an existing weather station that sends the data by satellite to a forestry command center in boise，idaho.scientists have long known that trees can produce extremely small amounts of electricity.but no one knew exactly how the energy was produced or how to take advantage of the power.11what are the disadvantages of the remote automatic weather stations?athey cost too much.bthey are of poor quality.cthey are not enough.dthey cant reach remote
