Electricity inducing Majdool dates, a new concept in the Emirates.

• Electricity inducing majdool dates are being tested as a concept to extract clean green energy.
• The process includes the extraction of natural sugar from the majdool dates, with copper plates creating a circuit, allowing an energy flow.
• The team of 3 Emaratis aims to introduce a new waypoint of Arab culture though dates, which have had a significant role for thousands of years and they aim to make it more relevant for the future to come.

Majdool dates are bigger and can hold copper plates more easily, which is why they were the brand of choosing for this project.

A team of Emirati engineers and artists have developed a unique way to generate electricity by reimagining the traditional date fruit.

The fruit, known for its nutritional richness, has been transformed into a source of renewable power by extracting energy from its natural sugars.

At the Sikka Art and Design Festival, the team showcased their invention made with Majdool dates that can hold copper plates firmly.

The plates act as electrodes and are interconnected by a conductive metal wire, which completes the circuit, allowing the setup to generate a small amount of electricity.

The team used 20 dates for the model, creating a visually striking display. They believe that their project draws attention to the cultural significance of dates and emphasizes their value in Emirati traditions.

Dates have been an integral part of the Emirati culture for centuries, and this project aims to showcase their versatility and innovative use of dates.

The team hopes that by presenting their Electricity inducing project at the festival, they can raise awareness of the cultural significance of dates and promote sustainable energy solutions.

The installation not only generates electricity but also serves as a conversation starter about the importance of preserving cultural heritage and sustainable practices.
