Piezoelectric clothing! That’s what the dames in the know are wearing these days. While they only conduct enough electricity throughout the day to power your cellphone and other beloved pocket gadgets, it opens the doors for a larger scale of innovation!
Set to steal the show at San Fransisco’s upcoming 2ndSkin Expo, these articles of clothing feature electricity generating fabrics at the joints of the elbows and hips. The mechanical stress created by walking, bending, or getting naughty on the dance floor is stored up as voltage in a built in battery which can then be used later (presumably) to power your hand-held, and pocket friendly gadgets!
