[Noisebridge-discuss] wireless and battery-free power switches?

[Lee Sonko]

A friend of mine in Berkeley has two of the first ones you mentioned.

You push them fairly hard (maybe 8 lbs) and then they make a snap, switching
the outlet on or off. It's almost definitely a piezo-electric thing like a
bbq lighter. If you push them very gently, or slam them really hard (like
one 8 year old occupant is fond of doing) they work only 80% of the time.
But for normal humans, they work fine.

not as cool as most of the stuff in this mailing list, but has anyone
tried any of them?

Do you know of a shop in SF where I could buy (and play with) some?


I was looking at stuff like:

or

Thanks,
