Reply to comment by Allmightydohllah in Scientists have developed a low-cost small device (15x20cm) that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity. With wind at 2 m/s the device can produce 3 volts and generate power of up to 290 microwatts (sufficient to power a commercial sensor) by nimnlil

not true, 290 microwatts is useless. 15x20cm isn't even small. a 15x20cm solar panel would be able to do around 6 watts. (assuming 20% efficiency cells). an equivalent area solar panel would be 20,000x more powerful. which is why this is article is pointless
