Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a fabric that can generate enough power to run a cellphone, mp3 player, or similar electronic device. The fabric is made up of high-tech microscopic fibers that generate electricity when rubbed together. The goal is to make clothing that would enable the wearer’s movements to power any electronics plugged into it.

The researchers envision a wide variety of applications for this technology, including military and medical uses. But there are still two obstacles they have to overcome: making the fabric waterproof and making it washable.

Testimonials

  • Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head.

    “Just had to say that Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head about the media and so called ‘journalism’ in his article ‘How to Make More Money During a Recession.’

    “Absolutely brilliant and spot on. They have to fill so many newspaper/magazine pages and so much TV airtime that any ‘news’ item is completely overexposed and hyped up. (Swine flu is a good example.) It also seems that many journalists really don’t know much about the subjects they are writing about. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about Early to Rise.

    “Keep up the good work.”
