Silicon Salley Start-up Powers Homes with Sound Waves <<The technology is called thermoacoustics and it uses sound to turn heat into electric power. That’s right, “sound.”
Based on thermoacoustic technology developed by Xerox PARC in Palo Alto and refined by NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Nirvana pioneered what it calls the “Power Stick,” an entirely new form of micro-combined heat and power (m-CHP).>> http://www.forbes.com/sites/williampentland/2013/12/10/silicon-valley-start-up-company-powers-homes-with-sound-waves/ NASA Glenn Technology May Soon Power American Households http://www.nasa.gov/press/2013/december/nasa-glenn-technology-may-soon-power-american-households/#.UsPGJfTuLh4
