Ejecting is very risky for the pilot. Many pilots are seriously injured in the process (1 in 3 chance of spinal injury

). Ejection is the option of last resort; I'm guessing the pilot felt that he wasn't quite that desperate yet.

From this story sounds like a moderate flu. Fever, coughing, body aches, and congestion.
It does seem like the media is click-baiting the world for profit.

Looks like somebody did start a business based on quicksort back in 1971.

There is PDF buried in the developers section that says that they can get 100µW with a single antenna and multiple antennas can be combined to increase the power. I think a continuously powered device would not be a good application. Instead a device that powers on occasionally where the FreeVolt is trickle charging a battery would be a better application.
