Philippine 15-year-old inventor generates energy when walking+video

Recently, the inventors from all over the world are trying to produce energy from the most unlikely sources. There are already charging using the energy of the vibrations in the car, and miniature windmills, which, sticking them in the car window while driving, able to charge your smartphone, also features.



Decided not to lag behind modern mainstream alternative energy and young 15-year-old inventor from the Philippines, Angelo Casimiro, has learned how to produce clean energy during the walk.

He created a miniature device consisting of several piezoelectric elements, which in the manner of a conventional clip attached to sneakers or socks. During each step, they generate a current, which is the same compact Converter is converted into electricity. Power of the prototype, created by the Filipino, enough to fully recharge the battery capacity of 400 mAh for eight hours.

Of course, this is too little to say about the launch of such a charge in the production, because in today's mobile devices, even the weak battery has a capacity in excess of 2000 mA*h. But Angelo Casimiro said that, with a little increase in the size of the device (in the present embodiment, it is very small), and when using more complex components, such innovative exercises it is possible to increase to a level sufficient to maintain the health of your smartphone or tablet.

Especially as such a development should assess tourists, regularly residing in areas remote from centralized power supply, where every watt of excess energy, for its weight in gold. And given the fact that travellers every day, overcome dozens of kilometers on foot, this design is it is very by the way.

Now the young developer raises funds to conduct further experiments in this direction, and now he's ready to present the design of the charging integrated directly into the shoes. But for this Angelo Casimiro needs in partnership with shoes manufacturers that will be ready to develop models with a special form of the sole.
