Hydrodynamic constraints on the energy efficiency of droplet electricity generators
Abstract Electric energy generation from falling droplets has seen a hundred-fold rise in efficiency over the past few years. However, even these newest devices can only extract a small portion of the droplet energy. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the contributions of hydrodynamic and e...
