Abstract:	It is investigated how much energy can be delivered by a streaming current source. A streaming current and subsequent streaming potential originate when double layer charge is transported by hydrodynamic flow. Theory and a network model of such a source is presented and initial experimental results are given, showing a supplied power of 20 nW obtained by a pressure difference of 1 atm over a glass porous plug, using a 1-mM KCl solution. It is indicated how the rather low mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency can be increased.
