Sometimes we build to innovate, and sometimes we build just to have the satisfaction of saying we made it ourselves. Yet there is another reason to construct something ourselves: To …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Generator Build Highlights The Scientific Method
While we’ve been hearing a lot about wearable piezoelectric devices that produce electricity from people’s movements, such gadgets don’t work well under certain conditions. A new bioelectric wearable, however, could excel where they falter.Continue Rea… Continue reading Stretchable wearable device uses tiny magnets to generate electricity
The idea of using human movement to generate electricity is something we’ve seen applied to many areas, including footwear, roads and, just this week, motion-powered mesh that heals injured tendons. Among these possibilities is flooring that can genera… Continue reading Nanogenerator wooden flooring powers lightbulbs with footsteps
