It's just such a miniscule amount of power.
Do you want to know why you don't see power dams below a certain size and height? Because gravitational potential energy is not very much. And I say this as someone who gets more excited by the Niagara falls power station than by the actual waterfall.
I also question their math claiming 200w per sq meter.

- angry_moose 3y agoI tracked it down in another comment, the 200 w/m^2 is the maximum output of the harvester, e.g. if you started spraying the panel with a firehose. In this case, the input energy available is ~4 orders of magnitude lower than that.
- Brusco_RF 3y agoSeems misleading to even mention 200W in any capacity at all.
