Turns the person's body energy into a battery

Picture 1 of Turns the person's body energy into a battery Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying ways to convert energy from muscle movements and elastic to more flexible electrical power than traditional batteries.

These zinc oxide nanowires, which are non-toxic and safe to humans, will be implanted in the body. Each time a nano is bent and stretched, it produces electricity, so anyone can generate energy just by moving or moving their muscles.

Researcher Zhong Lin Wang and student Jinhui Song at the Georgia Institute have successfully built a simulated nanogenerator. Wang insists it is small enough to not interfere with or offend people.

According to Wang, the first application for this technology will be in the military. The nano-generators will be installed in the soldiers' shoes, so they do not need to carry batteries to power the electronics when they are in operation.
