Women grope men's crotches to raise funds!

A French hand sanitiser company called Merci Handy has dispatched women to cup strangers' crotches in return for a donation to a charity that supports men's cancers.

Recently a trio of pickup artists got famous on the Internet, when they went around motorboating, in order to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Huffington Post reported.

Perhaps in response to the motorboating moneymaker, the company decided to get women to cup strangers' crotches in return for 13.50 dollar donation, according to Blame It On The Voices.

The women managed to raise $700 according to Gawker.

Researchers have developed certain type of solar cells which can convert sunlight into electricity more efficiently when exposed to acoustic vibrations of pop music.

Steve Dunn at QueenMaryUniversity in London and James Durrant at Imperial College London are working on zinc oxide solar panels, a cheaper, more flexible variant of traditional silicon-based solar cells, Live Science reported.

However, the only drawback is that its efficiency is just 1.2 per cent, a small fraction of what silicon is capable of.

In order to improve this, the researchers took advantage of zinc oxide's another properties. Nanoscale rods of the material wobble in response to mechanical stress, such as the vibrations produced by sound, and generate an electric field.

Dunn said that they tried their initial tests with various types of music, including pop, rock and classical and found that rock and pop were the most effective, most probably because they have a wider range of frequencies.

Researchers found that 50 per cent increase in efficiency, rising from 1.2 per cent without sound to 1.8 per cent with sound.

It was reported that these types of panels can be deployed in noisy public places, such as next to busy roads.
