Here’s how we might generate electricity from rain

4 June 2025

Scientists are exploring new ways to generate electricity from rain using triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). These devices convert the mechanical energy of raindrops into electrical energy. Recent advancements in TENG materials and designs have significantly improved their efficiency, making them a promising source of renewable energy. Rainwater harvesting systems equipped with TENGs could provide a sustainable and clean energy solution for urban and rural areas.
