    Chinese scientists have developed a transpiration energy generator capable of creating electricity using lotus leaves. The generator could turn nearly all leaves on the planet into a continuous and sustainable source of energy.

    The team estimated that the harvesting of transpiration energy from plants has the potential to produce 67.5 terawatt hours of power globally each year, reported Interesting Engineering.

    The researchers said that with technical advancement and continued research, the power generation method could become widely used and commercially viable.
