Is it possible to build a slim dynamo or piezoelectric and use the sole pressure when jogging or walking to recharge a set of caps?
there are DIY sites that has "USB LED lights" that uses USB to charge a super cap and feed an LED through a resistor. Do you think we might see more of these?
I'm hoping for some type of "media slice" thats removable after the shoes wore out. dunno, thought to share since search haven't given me anything
opinions?
Designers Feijun Chen & Bin Zhao clearly were reading Skymall when they dreamed up these "Pioneer" sneakers with built-in recharging headlights. They've got a battery inside which charges on each step, using some mysterious tech that doesn't look piezoelectric. Apparently this can power the LEDs in the front for a full 12 hours. So you can, you know: run in the dark down dim-lit streets, or something. Maybe they'd be handy for doggy-do detection? Just a concept, for now. [Yanko design]
