Protein Nanowire Device Generates Electricity from Moisture in Air

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from moisture in the air, a new technology they say could have significant implications for the future of renewable energy, climate change and in the future of medicine.
As reported today in Nature, the laboratories of electrical engineer Jun Yao and microbiologist Derek Lovley at UMass Amherst have created a device they call an “Air-gen.” or air-powered generator, with electrically conductive protein nanowires produced by the microbe Geobacter. The Air-gen connects electrodes to the protein nanowires in such a way that electrical current is generated from the water vapor naturally present in the atmosphere.
Pretty sure it has to do with what’s called the fourth phase of water, or EZ water. I’m just reading University of Washington professor Gerald Pollack’s book that explains how when water is in contact with a hydrophillic surface, it undergoes charge separation and creates an exclusion zone (EZ zone) with a net negative charge near that surface. Light plays a key role in this effect, particularly the IR wavelengths. Integrating this understanding into mainstream science is going to have profound effects to put it mildly, just as plasma cosmology/electric universe science will.
