BLUF

One type of water that blankets almost the entire planet is raindrops. Researchers have shown that there might be a way to generate power, just by channeling the drops a certain way.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explore how water that falls through vertical tubes can generates a substantial amount of electricity by using a pattern of water flow called ‘plug flow’.
  • Broaden knowledge of future power-generation which could become as simple and clean as channelling raindrops.
