Forget solar energy, the future of energy is human energy
This may sound a little unrealistic, but it is interesting to note that Princeton University engineers have invented a device that is likely to change the way many smaller devices and devices are powered. This type of human energy is created using the natural movement of the body.
A small chip uses human kinetic energy to power appliances such as cell phones, pacemakers, and many small electronic devices.
This chip is a combination of rubber and ceramic nanoribbons. When this chip is bent, the production of electrical energy begins.
Use of human energy
The important question now is, how can human energy be used?
These chips can be embedded in the rubber soles of shoes. In this way, energy is created and stored with each step one takes.
Using a chip embedded in the rubber sole of a shoe and walking in the workplace during a normal working day can provide the energy needed for a full charge of a mobile phone. With this amount of energy, you can use your mobile phone for a day.
Heartbeat
Users can use this chip as a heart pacemaker. If this human energy chip is placed near the lungs, it will have the natural power to create a heartbeat. In general, people with heart problems can use this technology.
Currently, the only way to replace a heart battery is to have surgery. But with this chip and the natural movement of the lungs, the battery can use the energy stored and stored through this chip and be charged and help create a heartbeat.
Therefore, this technology can be used with only one surgery, unless there is a problem with the pacemaker, so there will be no need for multiple surgeries to replace the heart battery.
Convert 80% of mechanical energy to electrical energy
This technology, human energy, is an incredible advancement because it has so many uses. Engineers at Princeton University have designed the chip to convert the pressure on the chip into an electric charge.
In fact, with this method, 80% of mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. Given that most existing medical devices need to be charged, making this chip is a truly amazing invention.
The technology will be mass-produced in the future and will probably be more affordable due to the raw materials used to make it. These human energy chips may be a bit expensive at the beginning of the market, but with more acceptance, the price will decrease.
