Are there liquids that can generate high electrical output from random movement?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on creating a power source from random movement, specifically through energy harvesting techniques. Participants mention the potential of using liquids or gases to generate high electrical output, referencing fuel cells as a relevant technology. It is emphasized that while mixing certain liquids can lead to reactions, effective energy harvesting requires that these substances remain separate, ideally using a membrane to prevent direct mixing. The focus is on ensuring the method is safe and non-toxic while effectively harnessing energy from movement.

Hi All :)

Im working on a small contraption and I need to create a power source from random movement.

I herd there are some liquids that can be mixed together to have high electrical output generated.

or maybe liquid and gas?

Either way it must be safe and non toxic.

thank you for your time :approve:

The search term is "Energy Harvesting" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_harvesting

I believe the search term for this would be "Fuel Cell" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_cell

If you mix them together, they will react - but you will be not able to harvest any energy. They have to react in the separate vessels. They can be separated just by a membrane, crucial thing is that they don't mix directly.

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
