A great way to gather power is via kinetic energy. Why not recollect energy while we are already moving? Enter the Amanda Parkes’ and Adam Kumpf’s .
This dress uses piezoelectric material creates a voltage when it is deformed like bent or twisted. An integrated rectifier circuit connects the strips to capacitors which store electrical charge and feed the electrical power to the coin batteries disguised as buttons.
The creative power behind the Piezing, Amanda Parkes and Adam Kumpf are grad students at MIT Media Lab. Their Piezing power-dress was part of a runway fashion show last Friday at the ‘2nd Skin: Imaginative Designs in Digital & Analog Clothing’ at the Exploratorium in San Francisco.
