Orange has devised a new product for charging a mobile phone by harnessing the sound waves and vibrations produced around you. Called Sound Charge, the technology is built into a t-shirt that will be available to concertgoers at the Glastonbury Festival this summer, where there will be plenty of sound waves to test the technology out with.
The Sound Charge t-shirt has a Piezoelectric film embedded in the front of it that can absorb sound waves. The absorbed sound waves are then turned into an electrical current that is stored in batteries woven into the shirt. A user can plug their mobile phone into the shirt to charge a phone's battery using the energy stored in the shirt's batteries. »read more
