However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to harvest power from trees. They use the same metal for both electrodes (电极) specifically in order not to confuse this effect with the potato effect. While proving that trees can provide a source of power is a significant step, a key question remains: can the tiny voltage (电压) produced by a tree be used for anything useful? Now scientists are debating over how to use this power source for human benefits. The most practical thing is fire alarm for forest department, originating from the tree itself. Trees electric power can charge a battery. This battery in turn will be connected to a small sensor. This sensor will power a brief radio transmission (传送). That radio signal will transport daily soil and air condition measurements to a network of much larger, solar powered Forest- Service environmental monitoring stations. Those sensors wilt also give out a crisis signal in the event of a sudden rise in-air temperature-that might indicate the outbreak of a forest fire. “I truly believe it has potential,” said Victoria Henderson, branch chief for equipment and chemicals at the Forest Serviced National Interagency Fire Center. “If this can enhance (提高) our existing technology to a degree that would gain us a lot more fire protection, then we’d look at a plan to purchase it for our nationwide infrastructure (基础设施), which is huge.” Researchers have discovered that the greater the pH difference between the tree and the soil the more the energy will be produced.
