Charge Your Mobile Phone with your Shorts!!!

Scientists have come up a pair of shorts which stores energy to charge wearer's phone battery while they are in transit. An average person wearing the Power Shorts and going for a walk can generate enough energy to charge a battery for four hours.

This happens with the help of a fabric that turns walking into electrical power. The gaps in the clothes are squashed together while a person walks and the energy created is then used to power mobiles.

The ambition was to create a practical solution to charging-related issues that are experienced by many people at outdoor events.

In addition to the shorts, scientists have also come up with a sleeping bag to charge smartphones while the user sleeps. The mechanism to charge in this is similar to the shorts but instead of movement turns body heat into battery life for a mobile. Read More
