Push water through tiny channels and you can create a microcurrent. From this, some press writers have reached the ridiculous conclusion that batteries will be powered by water. In reality, anybody can create thousands of volts of electricity by walking across a carpet in their socks. Does that mean batteries will be powered by socks?
Of course not. It's the movement of the water that matters. So what power will be used to move the water through these battery devices? Apparently, the people reporting this news haven't thought of this.
Saying that this device "runs on water" implies that water is a fuel that is consumed during operation. That's undoubtedly the way most people read this story, and it's categorically incorrect. The device uses no water whatsoever during operation, and it's not powered by water at all.
Saying this device "runs on water" is equivalent to saying that hydroelectric dams run on water. It's a common misconception of those who don't understand physics. In fact, these devices convert kinetic energy into electrical energy. And that's precisely what this invention by Kostiuk and Kwok does.
It's interesting, yes. But not revolutionary. Early factories in the 19th century were powered by the exact same technology on a larger scale: water wheels.
