Trees can become a clean energy source

According to NewScientist , plugging the electrode plate into the trunk to obtain electric current seems to be an unbelievable thing. But recently, Andreas Mershin, who is in charge of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) working group, confirms, under the effect of metabolic processes in plants, because the pH in the trunk and soil is close That is different, so it is possible to generate electricity.

In order to solve the problem of electric current too small, they designed a type of electric device to store electrical energy produced from the tree, after accumulating enough electricity, it is possible to set the voltage supply time 1.1V.

Scientists from the research group believe that plants can through these electronic sensors monitor their physiological and environmental conditions . Moreover, along with the explosive growth of technology, electronic components are getting smaller, the lower the electricity consumption, the more plants produce electricity, the more likely to be used in the near future.
