5 innovative ideas for generating clean electricity

       







The cleanest source of electricity is wind energy. Behind the city you can find whole forests of wind turbines of power plants, which convert air flow into electricity. However, for lighting a small town need such a huge number of wind turbines and large space below the wind blew constantly. However, there is a solution — an inexpensive, portable wind rostrum, equipped with folding blades and a small generator. Of course only one grandstand will not be able to provide electricity to the whole house, but 15 units, located on the perimeter, it is able to cope with this load.









From the benches, where we sit in the Park or at the bus stop, too it is possible to get electricity. If the seat benches can be converted into a rocking chair, each person resting on it would ride, have fun and twisted to a portable generator inside of it, charging for your portable gadget. The second option — benches in the subway. If the arms of the benches to mount the fans which would be cool from the air stream generated by passing trains, the amount of electricity produced would also be sufficient for charging gadgets — simple and free.









One of the main reasons in the way of producing electricity from the sun are the solar panels themselves. The fact that modern solar panels are very expensive and their efficiency is very low. The team of engineers at mit may be able, will solve these problems in the near future, because they were able to create solar panels out of paper. Their production is very cheap — simply print on a special printer. And the sunlight such paper panels catch the sun better, even if they crumple or fold several times. The project is actively being tested, but, maybe in a few years paper the solar panel will start production, and humanity will be able to get a large amount of solar energy almost for free.









Scientists at the University of Notre Dame presented his idea, which would have greatly improved the method of obtaining solar energy. They have created some special paints that can capture solar rays and convert them into electricity. Scientists say that if they manage to find a more economical way of obtaining this paint in large quantities, then it will be possible to paint the house, which itself will produce electricity just from sunlight.









You see people on a morning jog, who will gladly burn the extra calories? Have you ever thought that they are the true generators of electricity? Scientists from Princeton University put forward a simple, but seemingly wild idea of creating a vast wheel that would be cool to be a runner, like a hamster in a cage. They propose to put these wheels along parks or waterfronts, where everyone run could spin that wheel for the benefit of mankind and would generate electricity.









Our civilization over the last century well-curb electricity and is now using it everywhere for every need. Without electricity we cannot imagine our further development.
