Kinetic charger turns motion to power
The kinetic charger will turn mechanical movement into electricity, letting you power your phone by taking a walk.
The device will feature a microfluidic device that will move nano-droplets of liquid through channels embedded in a thin film, which will produce an electric current. It will clip to a belt or pocket where it will harness the motion of the wearer to generate and store up to 4 watts of energy, and connecting the devices together will increase the charging capacity.
