It sounds like NTS Innovations has been partnering with the University of Arkansas Department of Physics and has broken through a stigma in the scientific community to discover the ability to generate power from the the mechanical movement of atoms!
I think people were afraid of the topic a bit because of Feynman. So, everybody just said, ‘I’m not touching that. But the question just kept demanding our attention.

They’ve basically found that they can charge capacitors using diodes that are wired to a sheet of graphene, which is a single atom thick. Graphene atoms naturally fluctuate in ambient heat, so they never stop moving at room temperature. With that as an energy source, they have discovered unlimited clean power!
Now, NTS Innovations is leveraging that understanding to build Graphene Energy Harvesting Circuits or (GEHCs).
With Graphene Energy Harvesting™ Chips, NTS Innovations envisions a future where power is generated directly at the point of use.

I mean…Just look at one of these GEHCs next to a AA battery!!
Graphene Energy Harvesting Circuits or (GEHCs)
Nanotechnology with gamechanging potential!
Most of my micro-electronics projects end up either using a portable battery pack, or a micro-drone’s li-po battery, which only gives me 3-4 minutes of flight time. I have a 3:00 countdown timer set on my Taranis QX7 transmitter to let me know it’s time to fly home for a new battery. I can’t imagine how great it would be to put on my FPV goggles and just fly until I’m ready to stop.
It’ll probably be awhile before GEGCs are producing what I need for that, but I imagine it won’t be too long.
How it works
