"Man-Made Cloud" experiment generates electricity from humidity in air

www.inverse.com This Man-Made “Cloud” Could Offer Endless Clean Electricity

A new prototype compatible with a wide range of materials could grab a continuous supply of renewable energy from the air.

tl;dr (copied from the abstract): "Here, a generic effect for continuous energy harvesting from air humidity is reported, [...]. The common feature of these materials is that they are engineered with appropriate nanopores to allow air water to pass through and undergo dynamic adsorption–desorption exchange at the porous interface, resulting in surface charging." "The work opens a wide door for the broad exploration of sustainable electricity from air."

They call the effect an 'air-gen effect' so more articles can be seen here: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=Air-gen+effect&ia=news
