Very interesting field of "micro" (nano) scale power generation..

Seems best suited to power small electronic circuits for now.

Found some more links

Triboelectric effect - Wikipedia

Triboelectric nanogenerators as flexible power sources

I wonder if a million tiny ones, suspended in a little artificial tornado, with a small barrel in their path could be used as a colliderand collector of the energy the little chips produced.... and I& it could produce more energy than it cost to keep itself runnung..
Then the xcess energy could be utilized externally to power lights, etc..

I would love to see some kind of self sustaining generator like hat.
