EEVblog:
Someone just copied me in on X about Lightcell, a startup that generates power from flame light sources.
i.e. burn fuel to generate light to power a high efficiency matched solar cell.

They are hiring:

Off the bat without thinking about it, cool, but I don't see how this scales. And what's the true end-end efficiency?

The founder talking about it (I haven't watched it)

SiliconWizard:
This one triggers nothing else than a "LMAO". ::)

EEVblog:
Looks like she's had several sucks of sav at the the energy market:

Once there was a time, when people used sperm oil to light(*) their houses. So let's just go whale hunting again to power our electrical shavers!

(*) very lightly light

SiliconWizard:
I think we should make car engines which burn gas to generate light, harvest energy via PV cells and power electric motors.
