Are there liquids that can generate high electrical output from random movement?

In summary, The conversation is about creating a power source from random movement. The suggested search terms for this are "Energy Harvesting" and "Fuel Cell". It is important to note that the liquids used in the process must react in separate vessels to be able to harvest energy.

Hi All :)

Im working on a small contraption and I need to create a power source from random movement.

I herd there are some liquids that can be mixed together to have high electrical output generated.

or maybe liquid and gas?

Either way it must be safe and non toxic.

thank you for your time :approve:

If you mix them together, they will react - but you will be not able to harvest any energy. They have to react in the separate vessels. They can be separated just by a membrane, crucial thing is that they don't mix directly.

FAQ: Are there liquids that can generate high electrical output from random movement?

What is the relationship between liquids and electricity?

Liquids can conduct electricity because they contain charged particles called ions. When an electric current is applied to a liquid, the ions are able to move and carry the current through the liquid.

Which liquids are good conductors of electricity?

Some common liquids that are good conductors of electricity include water, saltwater, acid solutions, and metal-containing solutions. These liquids have a high concentration of ions, making them efficient conductors.

Can liquids be used as insulators?

Yes, some liquids can act as insulators and prevent the flow of electricity. For example, oils and pure water do not contain enough ions to conduct electricity and are therefore considered insulators.

How can liquids and electricity be used together in technology?

Liquids and electricity are used in a variety of technological applications, such as batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysis. They can also be used in sensors, switches, and other electronic components.

What safety precautions should be taken when working with liquids and electricity?

When working with liquids and electricity, it is important to wear proper protective gear and follow safety protocols. This includes wearing rubber gloves and using insulated tools to avoid electric shock. It is also important to properly dispose of any liquid waste to prevent environmental contamination.
