oh I think you are missing the significances of this discovery.
there are only a few known ways to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy - electomagnetic (generators), Pizoelectric effect, static generators... ummmmm, I think thats it
other way to produce electrical energy: photocells, fuel cells, chemical batteries, thermal junctions, ... - have I missed any?
and this new method discoverd in Canada.
this is brand new - let a couple thousand scientist and engineers noodle over it for 10 or 20 years, it might be something big
but the important thing is, its never been done this way before
(also, something was discovered in Canada! thats a 1st too, isnt it?) just kidding !!! :c)
