This got me excited about the idea. Like many others my first thought was that it can't be nearly efficient enough to charge my phone, but I hadn't even considered all the little low power sensors I could place around the house that I wouldn't bother with if they all needed to be wired into mains power. Think window break and door lock sensors, etc.
- jacquesm 11y agoYes, exactly. Charge slowly and discharge fast.

I've played with a light switch that can generate enough energy from you just pressing them, that they can boot up an internal uC, a radio, and then send a signal. The device had a typical home-automation range of several meters. I've been told that there are versions mounted into window handles, etc.
