Power cloth

Power can charge your phone whenever you hold it in your hand, or when the user is sitting on it.

Researchers have found a way to convert heat into electricity and that means your mobile device will never have to be turned off.

Prof. David Carroll and Power Felt

Power Felt can maintain a smartphone running 20% of the time just by the energy from a touch.

Even users can sit on their hands to make connections, transferring electricity from their bodies to the device.

The technology is the brainchild of Professor David Carroll of Wake Forest University, which claims that this could be a new wave of cheap electricity that could be produced by current alternatives such as solar power. .

Power Felt is especially versatile, which can provide emergency power to radios or flashlights in emergency situations.

Professor Carroll and his team use nanotechnology to place small carbon nanotubes on each fiber, and make them look like real fabrics, according to the News Observer.

The first application of the invention was a baby toy.
