I'm honestly not sure where this belongs, but I thought some would be interested. My brother gave me the link based on a loosely related conversation we were having. I read somewhere around here people were interested in energy harvesting and sensor networks. This device seems specifically designed to facilitate that.

I'm not associated in any way. Just thought it was interesting and shared.
