But, i digress, you make a valid point. I simply feel that the obvious similarity between the conversion of water to electricity by the pull of gravity merits mention.]]>Jan 27th 2008 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 28th 2008 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 28th 2008 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 27th 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 27th 2008 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 27th 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 27th 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/
Did you mean to actually say, "The Sun is actually necessary..."?

After all, without evaporation powered by the sun, every dam in the world would stop providing power as soon as the water level dropped below the intakes, since it would never be replenished.

Please note my "going up the energy food chain" comment. I certainly wasn't directly implying dams were directly powered by solar energy, simply that it is what is ultimately the engine that makes them work. The same can be said for wind energy.]]>Jan 27th 2008 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 27th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/27/researchers-dream-up-rain-powered-devices/Jan 28th 2008 1:37AM
