Recharge Your Cell Phone With a Touch?

Recharge Your Cell Phone With Nanotechnology.

Researchers from the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials at Wake Forest University developed a thermo electric device that converts body heat into a current with nanotechnology called power felt, allowing you to recharge your phone slightly with a touch. Power felt is made up of tiny carbon nano tubes in flexible plastic fibers that feel like fabric. Then something, like a jacket, is made from power felt and uses the temperature difference created by your body heat and the temperature outside to create a spark that can charge your electronics. Sadly it is expensive to make and there isn’t a lot of it available right now but it may be very affordable in the future.
This would be awesome; no more having your electronics die on you when you need them. I hope they get enough funding to mass produce this stuff. This could affect everyone who has a cell phone or something similar to have them always be charged enough for an emergency call
