Future Perfect Generating electricity from living trees

What’s happening right now?

Massachusetts-based electrical components manufacturer, MagCap Engineering, is on the verge of heralding a new era of bio-energy harvesting. The firm has already worked out ways to harness electricity from living trees, which can be touted as the next renewable energy revolution. This ultimate discovery of alternative energy source was detected in an interesting manner. A group of scientists hammered wire-attached nails into the tree trunk and a conductor into the ground. They have discovered a faint source of electricity in trees, which may lead to a potential revolution in green energy. (more…)
