Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for producing energy and to the use of said device for producing and/or storing energy.

Abstract: It is presented a detection module (10) for detecting capacitance variations in a plant (20), comprising one or more electrodes (11) configured and arranged to be put in electrical communication with the plant (20), one or more capacitive sensors (12) in electrical communication with the electrodes (11), configured to measure capacitance through the electrodes (11) and convert it to voltage values, a control unit (13) in communication with each capacitive sensor (12), having at least one electrical or wireless communication port (14?, 14?) to other detection modules (10) or to external devices (0), and being configured to read said voltage values, process them for obtaining processed voltage values, compare said processed voltage values with a threshold value, and send a control signal to one or more external devices (0) via said at least one communication port (14?, 14?) when said processed voltage values exceed the threshold value, and a user-accessible potentiometer (15) in electrical communication with th
