In the Jeans

We all know that buying new clothes can make you feel like a whole new person. But how about this? Scientists have designed wearable nano-generation technology that harnesses the kinetic energy created by clothing as the wearer moves. The generators can be woven into clothing items, where energy is then created through friction, which can be used to power small devices like smart watches and mobile phones.

Answer: Future

That’s right, in the jeans is… the future! Scientists based at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh are currently prototyping a technology that can be woven into items of clothing. While still at the very early stages, the team reckon that they can have a technology that is market-ready by as early as 2027. Thanks very much to producer Dave who clocked this one a couple of weeks ago.
