System Specs

"And by combining energy-scavenging technology with super-capacitors and cycled operation, the Georgia Tech team expects to power devices requiring above 50 milliwatts. In this approach, energy builds up in a battery-like supercapacitor and is utilized when the required power level is reached."

so what they are saying is that if things go well they will be able to save up enough power to power a 50 mW device for a short time, power it off again, then wait again until enough power is available? anyone see a number for how much power they were generating over extended periods of time?
