Researchers at the National University of Singapore developed a device that captures electricity from raindrops falling through a simple vertical tube.

During testing, each tube produced about 440 microwatts of power, enough to illuminate 12 LED lights for 20 seconds using four tubes.

The system converted over 10 percent of the falling rain’s energy into usable electricity.
