Argentine industrial designer Lola Mensa has unveiled the Cargador De Celular, an environmentally friendly concept device designed to attached to your running shoes in order to generate energy while running or jogging. Once you finish with your workout you plug your mobile device into the charger and voila!; Renewable energy. I gotta say, I love the packaging.
Apparently, the social meme believes that such technologies are new. A piezoelectric system built into the heal of boots to provide a trickle charge for batteries was demonstrated in the early 90s. Of course that was a defense technology and wouldn’t be considered “good”. At any rate, perhaps technologies such as the one proposed by this industrial designer will be perfected and integrated into Soldier Systems equipment as well commercial products.
