Can you run Linux in under a watt? Or do you need a wall charger for that bit?
Easily. A PocketBeagle can idle at about half a watt. Actual usage is more like 3W however.
Half a watt idle? You could go to the moon and back on that!
I guess I need to spend more time outside of my nanoamp world.

“It’s something we’ve discussed, how much less scrutiny we would face if we were men, how much more implicit trust you’d get. But there’s nothing you can do about it, and talking about it makes you sound kind of silly,” says Meredith Perry, founder of the wireless technology startup UBeam..."

It's remarkable that she makes this claim, given the amount of investor money she was able to raise without any evidence of a working technology whatsoever. Seems that she had an abundance of "implicit trust".
Someone trying to light a red LED with US. The 10A bridge rectifier is probably quite lossy at 40kHz.

Sometimes “reinventing the wheel” is actually a great thing to do.

Funny how she did exactly that. Although she keeps claiming she invented this idea, ultrasonic wireless power transfer had been researched and used for decades. But she was the only one dumb... err... "out of the box thinking" enough to think you can charge a mobile phone with it at several meters, and power TV's and other stuff.

Get ready for your uBeam blood test, maybe.

Someone just sent me a secret pic of Perry's new startup prototype!
Recharge your phone and test for every known disease with just a thumb prick, it's a zillion dollar idea!
I was hoping she was trying to recharge phones using human blood.
