Seen this every day for the last week it seems, one article even suggested it could run your phone for 50 years.
I'm sure it has uses, but it's just 100 microwatts - that's the realm of arduino boards in sleep mode.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoI wonder if it can power the potato laptop : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35074233 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35074233
- Gabrys1 3y ago1. The article mentions the next version is supposed to deliver 1 W 2. You can put a few of those for more power. The fact of not needing to replace it like ever justify the extra space, I think (and can maybe be offset a little by not having to have a charger)? I'm looking forward to a power bank made of these. This would be epic.
- Snow_Falls 3y agoThey say they're going to put out a 1 watt version, that will open things up a little more. I've seen home servers (consumer hardware) that never consume more than ~20 watts. Not sure the price of these hypothetical future batteries but that could be very useful. If nothing else, it can offset electricity costs a little.

- SamPatt 3y agoI just want it to be sufficient to drop into some ESP32 boards, to make a place-and-forget LORA meshnet. 1 watt might be enough if they can deliver on that claim.
