[extropy-chat] Nanogenerator

[Jeff Davis]

Hmmmm.  Acoustic-powered.  Very Drexlerian.

Nanogenerator provides continuous power by harvesting energy from the
environment

For powering nanodevices

Researchers have demonstrated a prototype nanometer-scale generator
that produces continuous direct-current electricity by harvesting
mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves,
mechanical vibration or blood flow.
