U.S researchers have announced that soon, cell
phones can be powered by human motion. The researchers have found a way to
generate electricity by placing a device in a shoe that will capture the energy
of the human movement and convert it to electricity.
There had
been similar methods previously for devices that require a lower amount of
energy. However, it is now the first time to use kinetic power charges that
outputs large amounts of energy. Japan has already installed similar devices in
under the floors of the Tokyo’s train stations in order to collect vibrations
from people walking. The energy collected is used in various appliances such as
automatic doors.
The new device
consists of thousands of microscopic liquid droplets that move when the human goes
into motion from the outer surface. When microscopic liquid moves, it conducts
electrical current. According to researchers, it produces enough power to charge
a standard cell phone and even a laptop.
It is
useful because of its use of renewable energy. Cell phones can be charged in a
cleaner method. They can also be rechargeable outdoors. Unlike solar power
consumption, these kinetic devices do not have limited amount of resources of
collecting energy. Through the movement of the human body, electric power can
be generated.
There is
no need to worry if your battery runs out when you are taking a stroll around
the park. The device will recharge your battery as you walk, collecting the
movement of your body. There is no need for any other resources in order for it
to charge.
