How about a shoe-powered battery – in 10,000 steps, your phone stays charged 24 hours?

How many steps do you walk a day? Did you reach the 10,000 step milestone? That’s about 5 miles and 500 calories for the average healthy person of average height and weight. What if they forced you to do this? At first, you may be angry, but you will soon find yourself in excellent health, then add and subtract a few items to your diet and you will be fit and fit. But what could force you to do this?

Why not build a shoe that works like a flashlight that moves where a magnet comes and goes along a coil of copper wire creating electricity? This electricity during each step, although very little, can charge a battery, which could then be transferred to your smartphone and therefore, if you do not perform the required steps, you cannot use your smartphone as it would run out of power.

If you want to use your phone, it only has a charging cable that works with sports shoes and cannot be plugged into a power outlet. Do you think this is not possible? Well, all the technology exists today. If you are stuck indoors during the winter, there is no problem breaking the treadmill system, then your shoes can charge your phone and your treadmill can charge your TV or computer.

Now there was an interesting article in Design News published on December 27, 2016 titled: “Flexible Device Converts Motion into Energy: A film-like device generates energy from human movement and can be used to operate a number of objects, including an LCD touch screen, LED lights and a flexible keyboard “, by Elizabeth Montalbano who stated:

“Engineers and scientists have created a” film-like device that can power the next generation of flexible electronic devices such as mobile phones, touchscreens and keyboards. Researchers at the university have developed the inexpensive nanogenerator from a silicon wafer that they made from several thin sheets of environmentally friendly substances. These include silver, polyimide, and polypropylene ferroelectret, the latter of which lends itself to the device’s name: a biocompatible ferroelectret nanogenerator, or FENG. “

Well, now you can see how easy all of this really is, and that our current and newer technology makes it possible to have such technological tools that can be integrated into our evolutionarily predisposed needs. Instead of letting your smartphone rule your life, use it to improve your life, isn’t that what technology is supposed to do for us? It’s time for you to shed those extra pounds and save some medical costs. Think about this.
