Technology: You can now Charge your phone by Walking

Technology will continue to surprise the world as machines and devices which make tasks easier are continuously invented.

Just of recent a device, designed to charge a mobile phone by mere Shouting was invented. Everybody was marvelled. And they commend the inventor of the device.

The Goodnews is that, Another great device has just been invented.

This device is designed to charge a mobile phone by mere Walking. Funny right? Lol... All you have to do is to keeping walking and your mobile phone will continue charging.

The name of the device is ENSOLES. Invented by Ex-students of Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania.

HOW ENSOLES WORK

The Ensoles fit into shoes and the wire is wrapped through the laces.



The charging wire from the insole is plugged into the battery pack, which sits outside the shoe – either fastened around the ankle, or clipped onto the top of the footwear.



An embedded mechanical system inside the soles generates the electricity.



During the heel strike of each step, kinetic energy of the foot is transferred into the mechanical system.



This uses the energy to spin a micro-generator.



Wearers walk for an hour to generate two-and-a-half hours’ worth of power for a smartphone.



When the battery pack is charged, it can be unclipped from the shoe and connected to a smartphone, or other device using a USB cable.



The device is set to go on sale soon.

The ensoles connects to a power pack (pictured) and collects kinetic energy, with a mechanism that converts linear motion – generated while walking – into rotational motion, which is capable of spinning a generator

  1. This is fascinating! I hope it would readily be commercial success! I am also wondering how the physically challenged are going to cope with this technology. I guess there would be an alternative for them! This comment was shared kingged.com as well
