11、ows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的)effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that its possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things toge

12、ther. So, he thought, “Why dont we use water?”A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, h

13、e reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction( 摩 擦 ). Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water.

14、 There, the surface had acted as an electrode(电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his teams model generated almost 100 tim

15、es more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics,” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us
