While I was researching the concept of Electricity from Garbage had an idea about electricity from sound. For example piezoelectric baffles inside of a car muffler or hood to translate sound back into a battery.
Doing research on that, I came across an article from Science Daily 2007
A Sound Way To Turn Heat Into Electricity Unfortunately for me (but not the project in general) it was already picked up by
Hugo Oliveria BUT: I also came across this:
Cooking With Sound: Bio-Mass Burning
Stove Also Converts Heat Into ...
A low-cost generator with the potential to transform lives in the
world’s poorest communities is now being tested across the UK and in Nepal. The Score project, led by The University of Nottingham, is developing a bio-mass burning cooking stove which also converts heat into acoustic energy and then into electricity, all in one unit.
The £2 million Score project (Stove for Cooking, Refrigeration and
Electricity) brings together experts from across the world to develop the biomass-powered generator. By developing an affordable, versatile domestic appliance Score aims to address the energy needs of rural communities in Africa and Asia, where access to power is extremely limited.
The aim of the Score project is to make a low-cost, high efficiency
generator that can be used in the world’s poorest countries. The generator has a cost target of £20 per household, based on the production of a million units. The generator will weigh between 10 and 20kg. The target is to generate an hour’s use per kilogram of fuel which could be wood, dung or any other locally-available biomass
material.
