Abstract

Evergreen trees have continuous photosynthetic and physiological reactions that generate a permanent flow of electrons. If we can harness such electric charges, we can produce renewable electricity from green trees. To make this a reality, I propose the development of highly sensitive electronic sensors capable of capturing electric charges and movement inside plant stems and leaves. The captured charges can then be collected and converted into usable electricity stored in batteries, and used as a new renewable energy to power low-wattage devices such as lamps, street lights, and small electronics. If successfully achieved, such an approach has the potential to fulfill basic electricity needs in small cities and remote rural areas where conventional electric sources are not always available. In forests and highly dense plant populations, where thousands of trees grow, the total amount of potentially generable electricity could be significant to meet the energy needs of surrounding communities.
