Charging of Cell Phones Using Shirt Fabric

Have you heard any crackling sounds while dressing your hair or setting your wearable fabric ?

Have your long soft silky upper ever stuck to your pants while walking?

And even sometimes your wearing fabric sticks to your body too.

These incidents are mostly prominent in dry weather. These are due to electrical charges that produce current when they flow. We had never given another thought that these events are telling us something.

Something that will change our future! The way these charges have shown their prominent presence is certainly amazing. Scientists have discovered that nylon, the fabric being used abundantly in our dresses, provides the condition for production of current with our body movements. This current can be stored into batteries for further use like charging your cell phones.

Yes! Its perfectly amazing to have a charging source without any major effort, you move, you walk, you sit or stand, on every move! you are making this source powerful.

This is basically piezoelectric effect that converts any pressure difference into electric current.
