A Pair Of Shorts Can Now Charge Your Mobile Phone


Bangalore: Now, even a pair of shorts can charge your Smartphones. As per Sun reports, Scientists have developed a pair of Power Shorts which can store energy to charge mobile phone on the move. An average person wearing them and going for a stroll can generate enough energy to charge a battery for four hours.

This mechanism happens with the help of the fabric which turns walking energy into electrical power. While a person walks, the gaps in the clothes are squashed together and the energy created is then used to power mobiles.

In a move to help people at outdoor events, scientists teamed up with Vodafone to develop this cool technology. According to Christian Cull, Director of Communications at Vodafone, "Our ambition was to create a practical but exciting solution to the charging-related issues experienced by many at outdoor events. We hope that people harness the power in their pocket to keep them chatting and texting throughout their entire festival season”.

In the same line, along with the shorts, scientists have also developed a sleeping bag that charges your phone while you sleep. The mechanism works quite similar to shorts, but instead of movement, it turns body heat into battery life for phones.

After a nap for eight hours the Recharge Bag can store enough energy to power your mobile phones for the rest of the day.
