Fig. 1 Electricity generation from liquid flow outside a carbon nanotube: (A) scheme of a metallic nanotube immersed in a liquid, flowing along it with a bulk velocity v_m. The molecules, denoted by pairs of circles for different atoms, coat the nanotube in the form of slipping layers, which generate a phonon wind in the tube. This wind and fluctuating Coulomb fields from the molecules drive free carriers in the nanotube. Reprinted with permission from Kral et al.³⁷ copyright 2001, American Physical Society. (B) Variation of voltage, V, developed as a function of velocity of water. The solid line is a fit to the functional form V = α log(βu + 1), where α and β are constants. The inset shows the experimental setup, where R is the reservoir, L is the valve controlling the liquid flow, S is the cylindrical glass flow chamber, and G is the voltmeter. (C) Induced voltage as a function of liquid velocity for different liquids. The inset shows a schematic of asymmetric ratchet potential.
