A colleague just read me a brief blerb about a new power device
that gets some small amount of electricity from Piezo sensors.
The 'Joule theif
as in Joules of energy, can power small 3.3 volt electronics
from vibrations that are said to be below the threshold detectable by people.
They tout it

Dale,
The blerb didn't spec the amount of power available, might not be enough to
sound an audible alarm, although probably enough to send a radio signal
to a main alarm panel which could have batteries. this gizmo would elminate
the need for batteries in sensors

so if you put them on duck feet and have them walk on a mechanical tred mill
you could power the whole lab?

Jim,
I don't think you could power the pooper-scoopers you'd need to clean the
tred mill! after the ducks! GRIN
