It's exciting and if developed could spell the end to legacy, harmful ways from which we create power for the grid.
Imagine a tube that is placed within your gutter downspouts that allows water to run along it, effectively creating electricity which is then stored within your home for use later. No more electric bills. Or a boat with a strip of it attached to the bottom of the hull effectively creating endlessly energy for an electric engine. Or energy stations out in the ocean allowing tide movement to drag water along graphene surfaces, piping the energy to the mainland. No more nuclear power req'd.
And most importantly, energon cubes.
- rain water and salt water are two very different things.Amicus
- salt water now but rain water later and/or built-in salinization tech for that assprophetone
- salt water is the most abundant solution on the planet, after "air"monospaced

Pouring Saltwater Over Graphene Generates Electricity
A team of Chinese scientists did an impossible-sounding thing. They created electricity simply by dragging a droplet of saltwater across a layer of graphene. No big fires, no greenhouse gases, no fuss. They created energy with just a miracle material and one of the most plentiful substances on Earth.

Have you guys (ladies?) read about graphene? Possibly the most significant discovery of the 21st century. Since 2004 the applications for graphene and processes for producing graphene have advanced practically exponentially.
It can work as a fast-charging ultra capacitor.
It is 100 times stronger than steel.
It is conductive.
It is flexible AND stretchable.
It is transparent.
It is made of nothing but carbon."In addition to its potential uses in electronics, graphene might have applications in water treatment, oil spill clean-up and even in the production of thinner condoms."
