Virus-Based Piezoelectric Energy Generator
May 14, 2012
The first part of the video shows how Berkeley Lab scientists harness the piezoelectric properties of the virus to convert the force of a finger tap into electricity. The second part reveals the “viral-electric” generators in action, first by pressing only one of the generators, then by pressing two at the same time, which produces more current. credit: Berkeley
