MEMBRANE: The gadget is bendable, can be repeatedly used, immediately generates power, is environmentally friendly, highly efficient and capable of continued outputBy Wu Po-hsuan and Jonathan Chin / Staff reporter and staff writer, with CNA

Taiwanese engineers have invented a bendable water-enabled portable power bank — a device that generates power from a few drops of water. The gadget, which last month received the Future Tech Award, utilizes membrane technology to generate electricity from water, a team from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology said in Taipei yesterday.

As water drops vaporize, the membrane of the device makes use of ca...
