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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the concept of generating electrical output from random movement using liquids, specifically through energy harvesting techniques. Participants mention the importance of using non-toxic materials and reference "Energy Harvesting" and "Fuel Cell" technologies. A key insight is that for effective energy generation, reactive liquids must be contained in separate vessels, separated by a membrane, to prevent direct mixing while still allowing for energy production.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of energy harvesting principles
  • Familiarity with fuel cell technology
  • Knowledge of chemical reactions and their containment
  • Basic principles of electrochemistry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research energy harvesting techniques and applications
  • Explore the design and functionality of fuel cells
  • Investigate safe and non-toxic liquid combinations for energy generation
  • Learn about membrane technologies for separating reactive substances
USEFUL FOR

Inventors, engineers, and researchers interested in renewable energy solutions, particularly those focused on innovative power sources derived from chemical reactions and random 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

Something like that?

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.
