The researchers of which academic institution employed the nanoscale phenomenon called 'Electrokinetic streaming potential'
to harvest energy from flowing water on a small scale
like water flowing through household water taps?
This questions was previously asked in
SSC CGL 5th March 2020 Shift-1
IIT Guwahati
Correct AnswerIIT Delhi
Incorrect AnswerIIT Bombay
Incorrect AnswerIIT Madras
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Researchers have been exploring innovative ways to harvest energy from everyday sources, such as water flow.
- The phenomenon known as 'Electrokinetic streaming potential' leverages the movement of water to generate energy, especially on a small scale.
- IIT Guwahati: This institution's researchers have successfully applied this nanoscale phenomenon to harness energy from water flowing through household taps.
- IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, and IIT Madras are prestigious institutions, but they are not the ones credited with this particular energy-harvesting research.
