Seems like wind resistance might be a problem:)

The idea looks cool.
I wonder how much area is implied in their test design, which has a very large active area.
When that scales to a final camera, will they then discover it would have been better to use a solar cell + standard camera ?
Heater.

Good grief. Fix the link so we don't have to mess with it for ten minutes to find out what you are talking about.
Sounds cool anyway. Now people can spy on you at zero energy cost.
Which is nice.
