Tiny Generator Runs Off Vibrations
Warbothong writes "Researchers at Southampton University in the UK have developed a tiny generator that uses local vibrations to output microwatts of power. The device is smaller than one cubic centimeter. It shows promise as an alternative to batteries for applications where frequent battery replacement would not be feasible. The devices are currently being used in industry where 'there is the potential for embedding sensors in previously inaccessible locations,' but its creators imagine it could be used in devices such as pacemakers, where the beating of the heart would produce ample movement to power the magnetic mechanism."
sounds like real free energy, at last!
suck it, Orbo!
They'll soon have vibrators that are self-powered. Handheld pocket pieces around the globe. This would definitely outsell the solar powered vibrator idea, for those who just can't be away from masturbation when stuck without batteries.

Attach a few of these to Shakira's rear end and play "Hey Ya!" on repeat.
Now where's my Nobel prize?
You could make it bigger and adapt it to a car, the car vibrates as it goes down the road, in turn powering the device that allows it to go down the road...Perpetual motion automobile...I'd like my Nobel Prize now please...
In a world of acronyms, the words are the real victims.
Did anyone besides me first read that as: Tiny Generator Runs Off Vibrators ?
Or was that just me?

... You now get perpetual free power for your vibrator, woohoo! We boys still have to do hand cranking, woooo....
At this rate, it won't be long until we have self-sustaining vibrators that don't require batteries.

This is stupid. We already have better technology that can constantly produce clean infinite energy based off of the variances in the magnetic fields. I've read about it in three tech web sites!

Also, sometime they would leak and create 40 foot people that would rampage around the desert; which is a good thing, because someone had to stamp on those giant ants.

If nothing else, the Heimlich manoeuvre could become a common technique for stopping heart attacks.
