Evaporation-driven oscillator generator

Hygroscopy-driven artificial muscles (bacterial spores on tape) form a shutter-controlled relaxation oscillator above evaporating water; its piston-like motion turns an electromagnetic generator (Chen et al. 2015: LEDs lit, 60 μW bursts and 1.8 μW average into 100 kΩ).
