Capacitor effect generates power from elastomeric films
Researchers at the Fraunhofer ISC are developing novel materials that silently and directly convert the mechanical energy in the flowing water of even small rivers into electricity.
14 Jan 2018 Michael TriadanShare
The DEGREEN project (“Dielectric elastomer generators for regenerative energies”) uses extremely ductile, wafer-thin elastomer films that function like a capacitor and use the flow energy of water as low as 0.5 m/s. If one installs such a floating, environmentally friendly solution in small rivers and streams (as has already been done at the
