An energy generation system comprising:
- a first energy generation part configured to generate electrical energy from an electrochemical reaction of a target fluid;
- and
- a second energy generation part configured to:
- receive water discharged from the first energy generation part;
- and
- generate additional electrical energy from a potential difference made by a movement and evaporation of the water.
An energy generation system, comprising:
- a first energy generation part configured to generate electrical energy from an electrochemical reaction of a target fluid;
- and
- a second energy generation part, comprising:
- a casing part comprising a casing penetration portion;
- an energy generation membrane supported in the casing part so as to be exposed to an outside of the casing part through the casing penetration portion;
- and
