Wearable device power will come from the body
Researchers at the University of Buffalo, New York and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) of the United States made a metallic tab. This tab will be associated with the human body. In the report of IANS, it is said that the user is capable of producing power in the fold or other movements.
This tab is a trobiomectic nanogenerator. It can turn the mechanical power into electricity for electronic devices.
Kiaokiang Gan, associate professor and researcher at University At Buffalo, said, "A major source of human power. We think- 'Why do not we use it to create our own strength?' "
Nano Energy Journal provides detailed information about this tab.
There are two thin layers of gold in this tab. These two layers have been placed between the polycymithylziloxan It is also called PDMS-it is a silicon-based polymer used in contact lenses or other products. If a finger is folded then the motion creates friction between the gold level and the PDMS.
Ian Shu, the founder of IOP, said, "The more friction the more electricity will be generated."
The research report says that the width of one and a half centimeters long and one-centimeter width can flow up to 12 micrometers of 12 volts. The maximum concentration of power supply will be 0.22 milligrams per square centimeter.
This is not enough to charge a smartphone faster, according to the IANS report. But it has 48 LED light jabs capable of doing so.
To increase the flow of electricity, researchers are planning to use a big piece of gold. In addition, they will also try to build a portable battery for the electricity generated from this tab.
