Ukususela ngo-2017, abaphandi bebesebenzela ukuxhaphaza amandla ombane obangelwa kukuvela komoya ngokusebenzisa i-hydrovoltaic (HV). Ukuvela komoya kuseka ukuhamba okuqhubekayo ngaphakathi kwe-nanochannels ngaphakathi kwezi zixhobo, ezisebenza njengendlela yokumpompa engafakwanga. Esi siphumo sikwabonwa kwii-microcapillaries zezityalo, apho ukuthuthwa kwamanzi kwenzeka ngenxa yokudityaniswa koxinzelelo lwe-capillary.
