Power from the "impact of raindrops"? What utter Lib blathering 
ignorance! One expects this level of ignorance and fantasy from the fat 
pigs sitting in cubicles writing this tripe for Phys.org, but you Sam, 
are supposed to be a bit more educated that that! You really don't post 
this shit, do you? Your drop-out students and geezer followers do it for 
you in your name, right?

Are you fucking kidding?

As the average size and terminal velocity of rain are well known, how about
you enlighten us with just how much energy is available in 1 inch of rain
over a 1 meter square area?

For simplicity, assume a 30 degree tilt for the panels.

Breathlessly awaiting your analysis.

Nothing from the spamming dipshit wannabe teacher?

Is the problem too hard for you?

Let me help you get started:

1 inch of rain over a 1 meter square area is 0.0254 m^3 of water.

Still nothing from the spamming dipshit wannabe teacher?

Is this problem too hard for you to figure out, spammer?

Since you don't know any real physics, here is the answer for you, spammer:

About 8 kJ with 100% efficiency.

That means that if one live in Hilo, one of the rainiest places in the
US, a 6.2 in/hr storm would generate about 15 W (again with 100% efficienc)
for each square meter of collector.

Or, in other words, yet another worthless spam from the cut and paste
spam champ.
