Really green power - running an electric circuit from trees
The custom circuit is able to store up enough voltage from trees to run a low-power sensor
Article Summary
Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have taken the term ‘green power’ literally by running an electric circuit from the power generated by trees. Sure, there isn’t much electrical power to harness, but the researchers say it should be enough to run wireless sensors that could be used to detect environmental conditions or forest fires and could also be used to gauge a tree’s health.
