[NewCandle] Energy Harvesting

[Keith Nagel]

Hey John,

Indeed, a very amusing piece of kit!

The obvious use would be in the heel of a shoe or boot.
Might be a good power supply for a gps or something while
hiking. I'm guessing the energy output is rather low
for ordinary uses though; I can't imagine a wireless
power app that couldn't better be powered by a simple
inductor and diode at 60hz. I wonder who is buying this
and what it's been used for?

K.

Clever looking!

I need to line my walls at home with an AF version of
these, on big resonant tympanic ear diaphragms, for
when my youngest one and his death metal thrash band
practice in the basement.  Recover some of the watts
from the amps, as a matter of speaking:)

Although one wonders whether these little jobbies
could be mounted in wind turbine blades to collect a
tad more power from system vibrations there.

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. 
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
