Scientists Develop New Dirt-Powered Fuel Cell That Runs Forever
A Northwestern University-led team of researchers has developed a new fuel cell that harvests energy from microbes living in dirt. About the size of a standard paperback book, the completely soil-powered technology could fuel underground sensors used in precision agriculture and green infrastruct
Northwestern University researchers have introduced a soil-microbe-powered fuel cell, significantly outperforming similar technologies and providing a sustainable solution for powering low-energy devices.

So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?
"Furthermore, the researchers used waterproofing material on the cathode's surface, allowing it to work during flooding and assuring progressive drying after submersion."
I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops
Sensuously?
