Use of this plant in Phoenician Sardinia for executions is the origin of the term "Sardonic Grin". by AspireAgain

Reply to Scientists have developed a low-cost small device (15x20cm) that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity. With wind at 2 m/s the device can produce 3 volts and generate power of up to 290 microwatts (sufficient to power a commercial sensor) by nimnlil
I don’t need a sensor to tell me I’m watching a commercial. Any other uses?
