Power from water?

From BetterHumans.com:

"A new method of harnessing the power of pressurized liquids could lead to small electronic devices and even national power grids powered by ordinary tap water.

"Researchers from the University of Alberta in Edmonton have revealed a nonpolluting method of generating electric power that utilizes the natural electrokinetic properties of liquids such as tap water pumped through tiny microchannels."

The New York Times ran a longer piece on this story on January 1, 2004
