A new flexible generator converts muscle movements into enough power for small electronics, using human skin as one of its charge-collectors. The postage-stamp-sized device takes advantage of static electricity to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Such friction-powered generators could usher new types of wearable sensors that don't require batteries but instead are powered by the wearer's daily activities like walking, talking or holding an ...Saturday, 31 January 2015
Skin Patch Uses Muscle Motion to Power Wearables
