Cell phones have now become an indispensable part of our lives. With mobile phones, which have developed even more rapidly in recent years, we can easily handle almost every job. The charging of these devices, which have almost become a part of our body, has become one of our biggest problems.
Scientists looking for alternative methods against the charging problem have developed an interesting method. Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have discovered a way to turn our clothes into a power source.
You can charge your phone with a small piece of cloth.
Scientists at Nangyang University of Technology have developed a method for using the energy that humans naturally produce and charging digital or wearable devices. As a result of the work carried out with a piece of fabric measuring 3 centimeters by 4 centimeters, energy was produced thanks to a polymer that powers up to 100 LEDs from the fabric and can convert mechanical stress into electricity when compressed or stretched.
In this way, you can charge your mobile phones while you are at work, at home or wherever you are, by converting the energy generated by the movement of your body and the friction of your skin to your clothes into electricity that will power your devices.
The prototype produced 2.34 watts of power
Tested repeatedly by washing, it was explained that the fabric lasts up to five months, and this durability is explained by the fact that the fabric is rubber-like because it is incredibly tough and waterproof.
For the actual battery part of the device, the scientists designed an electrode pattern on a hybrid material of silver and foam-like substance. It was then bonded to a nanofiber material consisting of calcium titanium oxide minerals. These minerals are the main material that produces electrical charges. The prototype was able to charge your digital and wearable devices throughout the day, generating 2.34 watts of electricity per square metre.
