The article says "a wide range of applications, from those that require as little as 100 watts, [such as] a lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle, to 100 megawatts"
- wumms 7y agoI read the 100 watts as referring to lightweight unmanned aerial vehicle. 100 megawatts is followed by "[providing] electricity for 36,000 homes." The original paper does not mention lightweight aerial vehicles as an application, but a drone is mentioned in the title (and shown in the top image) of the article. Applications mentioned in the paper are: hybrid cars, unmanned vehicles, deep-space probes, energy storage, enabling efficient cogeneration systems for heat and electricity. (A less-misleading title might even be: "New thermophotovoltaic engine for deep-space probes")
