I'm sure those could eventually be adapted to convert different frequencies of energy, besides light waves, into usable energy. They have have IR energy generators on the market now.http://www.laserfocusworld.com/articles/print/volume-40/issue-7/world-news/world-news/miniature-power-generator-converts-infrared-to-electricity.htmlAs these types of technologies become more proven, cheaper, and more widespread many of them may be powering your day to day electronic devices. Of course there still needs to be adequate outside energy input as, I'm sure, that captured energy would eventually degrade to be unusable but it would allow another alternative to the burning of fossil fuels for energy production.</blockquote>
