No more replacing batteries in the wireless doorbell if it's windy outisde? Neat.

not even remotely close to possible unfortunately. 15x25 cm is not small. and yet this thing only puts out 290 millionths of a watt. a single normal AA battery can put out 2-3 watts peak power. 290 vs 2,000,000. it would take 2 years to charge a AA battery with this thing if that puts into perspective how minuscule the output is

I have a smart doorbell and got tired of bringing it in and charging it for hours, then putting it back. I put a solar panel on it this week.
