Apparently they've invented a t-shirt that lights up when it's in a WiFi area. I think the buck teeth, glasses, BO and rubiks cube are optional accessories.

You can get some handheld laser pointers in that power range that have a decent output. Can light matches with them etc.
Ther are a few microprocessors that will run on 80mw, won't power the associated gubbins needed to actually do anything usefull with them.
Best use for static I've found is building up a charge and sneaking up behind people to shock them with it

Not a lot.
You'd need 87.5 to power my energy saving light bult (7w) in my lounge.

How much power is 80mw?
Apparently they've invented a shirt that can harvest static electricity and generate up to 80 milliwatts.
As I'm a martyr to static I reckon I should get one. Could 80mw power my phone? Laptop? Feed into the national grid and make my fortune?Tags: None
