Explanation:

The energy carried by the average raindrop is on the order of one milijoule (one thousandth of a joule), which is transferred to the Earth’s surface when the droplet lands. That’s not much; our bodies release 60 thousand times as much energy as heat every second! But in the course of a rainshower or storm, those little splashes add up to a considerable amount of energy. And scientists have just come one step closer to harnessing it.

Raindrops will probably never be able to compete with a hydroelectric plant or windfarm. But they do have one major advantage — they’re free. Forget damming a river or erecting turbines, soon generating clean power could be as simple as laying out a sheet.
