For example, other fire sensors rely on batteries, whereas HV systems get their power directly from water. <\/p>\n\n<p>Associate Professor and project leader Byungil Hwang explained: &#8220;<em>Our hydrovoltaic system can produce microwatts of power, making it ideal for small-scale applications such as fire detectors and health monitoring systems. This system is self-sufficient, requires only a few milliliters of water, and has a fast response time. <\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n<p>The study was published in the <strong>Chemical Engineering Journal,<\/strong> and describes how the device uses a <strong>nanoporous layer<\/strong> integrated with cotton waste and other materials to generate electricity when exposed to visible or infrared light. In addition, the device demonstrated remarkable stability during continuous 28-day testing, with no corrosion or degradation in performance. <\/p>\n\n<p>According to Professor Hwang, &#8220;<em>This is the first demonstration of the use of a hydrovoltaic system in a fire detection application. Our high voltage system has the potential to be a sustainable power source for various sensor systems, including health and environmental monitoring. <\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n<p>This innovative development has the potential in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/articulo\/fuel-storage-tanks-for-service-stations\/\" data-type=\"articulo\" data-id=\"203253\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire detection,<\/a><\/strong> <strong>health monitoring<\/strong> and <strong>environmental sensing<\/strong> , demonstrating how sustainable energy technologies can impact practical applications.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social media and don&#8217;t miss any of our posts!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" rel=\"nofollow\">X<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@inspenet?_t=8qqIL6dRGNR&amp;_r=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1071296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EurekAlert<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo: Shutterstock<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The device uses a nanoporous layer integrated with cotton waste and other materials to generate energy when exposed to visible or infrared light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":223382,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13034,13078],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-223393","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-curiosities","categoria_noticias-innovation"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/223393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/223393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=223393"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=223393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
