Reyhan Jamalova, 15, invented a product called 'Rainergy,'' which is designed to harvest rainwater as a source of electricity. She was the youngest attendee at the 8th Global Entrepreneurship Summit held in India in November 2017, and received a special mention in Ivanka Trump's speech there. She also won an Honourable Mention at the Model UN Conference in Azerbaijan in 2017 and made it to the final stage of the competition at ClimateLaunchpad, Europe's largest green business idea competition, AzVision.az reports citing Forbes.
Jamalova, in cooperation with her school friends and physicists created the Rainergy device, which produces electricity from falling rain. It consists of four main parts: a rain collector, water tank, electricity generator and battery. The rain collector fills the water tank with rain water, which then goes through an electricity generator at high speed, creating electricity. The energy is then stored in the battery, helping relieve pressure on power grids, and allowing yet another option for access to power for underserved communities.
