Still it is conceptual only. The idea is built around battery chargers instead of batteries. The trick would be to discover the materials and environmental cost of adding chargers to relatively simple items in the first place.It is one of the ideas submitted to the Next Generation competition 2007 featured in Metropolis Magazine was this Kinetic Energy-harnessing battery charger by Yael Miller. The concept is to take power from our daily life work – such as working out, flopping around in a baby rocker, vacuuming, or flushing the toilet – add the piezoelectric effect, and come out with batteries that are charged by “human power.”
Imagine all the television remotes we could power just from flushing!
Yael Miller’s “Kineticel” concept proposes to put small piezoelectric chargers inside common household furniture and appliances, trading a little extra effort in your endeavor for freeish power. Kineticel chargers in a set of dumbbells could make electricity while you’re just doing your daily works!
