Open access (PMC6751999). Camphor emitted from floating polymer rotors lowers the water surface tension asymmetrically; the solutocapillary Marangoni stress rotates the rotor, whose permanent magnets induce a current in a stationary 800-turn coil (r = 35 Ω): maximal voltage 1.6 mV across a 35 Ω load, rotation lasting 10–20 h (full text).
