So probably only going to be usable for low power devices for a while
Depends on if it can scale and how far apart each has to be from another. A single windmill is not as impressive but you get a field of them you generate much more, hopefully it can get closer to a solar panel and be spread along a large are.

That seems to be the main crux for all new forms of energy. I feel like I’m always reading an article about some new form of energy that has lots of potential but never hear about it again as it had no scalability. Hoping this pans out but I’m always skeptical of these types of articles until they actually become something.
