Researchers Create Device That Produces Electricity When You Walk

NOW YOU CAN PRODUCE ELECTRICITY WHILE WALKING – CLAIMS NEW MIT RESEARCH

The MIT research powerhouse has achieved another landmark in its already extensive research profile.

Reportedly, MIT researchers have created an electrochemistry principle-based system, which can harness electrical power using mechanical energy.

MIT professor Ju Li and graduate students Soon Ju Choi and Sangtae Kim along with four others were behind this project and the study was published in the journal Nature Communications.

According to Li, this system might come in handy as engineer wearable tech because its build is quite pliant. Therefore, it can withstand all sorts of Applied Mechanical stress easily and humans can’t break it as well.

The system resembles Li-ion batteries since the polymer and metal sandwich produces electricity via performing bending action whenever it receives stress. Also, it’s quite dissimilar from previously developed methods like “triboelectric effect or piezoelectrics.”
