Researchers develop flags that generate energy from wind and sun
Tech Xplore | February 11, 2019
Scientists have created flags that can generate electrical energy using wind and solar power. The novel wind and solar energy-harvesting flags have been developed using flexible piezoelectric strips and flexible photovoltaic cells. Piezoelectric strips allow the flag to generate power through movement, whilst the photovoltaics is the best-known method of harnessing electric power by using solar cells.
