Human Body to power nanogenerators
Welcome to the Matrix!
Though looking within self is not in fashion, it's not as dangerous too, as it all depends on the way you look. Till now our vision was limited to the fact that human body is capable of producing enough electricity to pump the heart but there is much more beyond that.
As per a recent study, the energy generated from body movements can be utilized to power nanoscale components. These nanogenerators are being designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology by Zhong Lin Wang and Jinhui Song who've successfully generated electrical current through the bending and relaxing of zinc oxide nanowires due to the emition of piezoelectric discharge. These nanogenerators could be implanted safely into the body where they'll utilize the mechanical energy of our muscles to convert it into electrical energy enough to power devices inside the body.
Imagine these nanogenerators fitted in your shoes producing electricity while you walk.
