[QUOTE=meatballfish;35969119]This could be a big, important step in solving energy problems. Seems like a very clean method of generating electricity, too.[/QUOTE]
One square CM of them is enough to flash a 1 on a display... I think this is going to need some refining before it even goes toward the masses. Future? Yes. Inefficient? Yes, right now.

It could have been a really big '1'. :v:
Now they only have to make this virus produce energy from decomposing plastics. Energy and pollution problems solved,

Stack them in 3 dimensions, see how much you can get with a room full of them. Sounds like a fun experiment.

That would be interesting. Hook them up to some lights in a fashion that depending on what way the vibration comes from, lights the corresponding lights. And if they're sensitive enough, you could yell at them and make them light.
