Japanese Inventor, 72, Develops Method to Generate Electricity From Soil

Japanese designer Satoshi Nakagawa, 72, has developed a technique called micropower collection (MPC) that extracts small amounts of electrical current from natural and everyday materials. The method is capable of harvesting energy from a surprisingly wide range of sources, including soil, wine, and French bread. MPC works by capturing tiny trickles of electricity that exist within these substances. Nakagawa's invention represents a novel approach to alternative energy generation from unconventional sources.
