Comment on Engineers harvest clean, continuous energy from airparent

Comments

I got a copy, it says "~0.0001-0.05" W/m^2 for their material, which they put at the same order of magnitude as "Hydrovoltaic" harvesters, and several orders below something like wind or solar. But they do list theirs as the only 3D scalable, "continuous and ubiquitous" harvester.

Presupposing completely optimal 50mW/m^2, could you origami that surface? Because then you could probably have something pretty useful.
