CleanSpace CO Sensor Runs On Freevolt RF Harvesting
mspohr writes: A few years ago, a Kickstarter was set up to develop a locator tag powered by free radio frequency (RF) energy harvested from the environment. This was called a scam here on Slashdot and was shut down before it was funded on Kickstarter. However, it now appears that the concept is not as far-fetched as some predicted. A UK company CleanSpace has developed a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor which is powered by free RF. A review of the product has been posted on YouTube. It uses Freevolt technology to keep a battery charged and the CO sensor running. Since they have several thousand of these devices collecting data, they do appear to work and it seems to be in the 'not a scam' department.
So there was a Bastille Day attack in Nice, with the attacker intentionally running over people with a truck. It wasn't accidental; the attacker sped up to run over more people. What kind of fucked up person does shit like that? People like to blame attacks on guns but if you take the guns away, evil people will build bombs, run people over, or find other ways to kill people. What the fuck is wrong with people, to make someone intentionally run over lots of people with a truck? And how the fuck do you stop evil people who will just go find new ways to carry out their fucked up acts? I feel for the people hurt by this attack, but I'm angry that this shit keeps happening. It needs to stop. And there are some truly fucked up people in this world.
