“N-Energy”: Generate electricity from plants!?
– Amazing technology developed by an electronic board design maker –
-Using the power of plants to generate electricity-
TOKYO MX (terrestrial 9ch): Information live program “Jun Hori Morning FLAG” corner
Caster Yonan Tanaka interviewed the future renewable energy “N-Energy”.
In the field of renewable energy, various research and development are being advanced these days.
Electronic board design manufacturers in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture:
Developed a power generation method that produces electricity with familiar things. This greatly reduces the burden on the environment.
Therefore, this time, Tanaka visited the company “Nisor Co., Ltd.”.
Ms. Tasaki, who is in charge, showed me a flowerpot with ordinary plants.
A light is attached to the plant, and a power cord is connected behind the pot.
However, although the cord is not connected to the power supply, the light lights up. This is a plant power generation “N-Energy” that uses the environment in which plants grow to generate electricity.
To generate electricity, simply insert electrodes made of Binchotan charcoal and magnesium into the soil.
Binchotan charcoal returns to the soil, and magnesium, which is used as a fertilizer, does not harm the natural ecosystem. Even if the electrodes deteriorate in the soil, the load on the environment is small.
The flowerpot introduced this time can generate electricity equivalent to two AA batteries.
In 2021, we will jointly develop the product “botanical light” with a manufacturer in Tokyo.
It is being installed as an interior decoration and illumination in the city.
