Scientists from Spain (University of Malaga) invented an unusual a t-shirt that generates electrical energy through the difference temperatures. In Advanced Functional Materials, you can find detailed description of this invention.
Inventors did not need to create this t-shirt. expensive materials. The principle of its work is very simple: bio-ink, which are applied to cotton, absorb during heating fabric, thereby acquiring electrical properties.
While running or walking, the person’s body heats up, resulting in what makes the difference between body temperatures and cooler environment and the t-shirt starts to produce electricity.
Currently, engineers plan to improve their invention by making it generate light. Man in such T-shirt will be easy to notice in the dark, thereby making his walks safer. Also, scientists are considering the ability to use your invention as a charger devices for smartphone.
Previously, Indian inventors created a fabric that, when drying out generates electricity. According to the developers, this invention will help provide underdeveloped electricity regions of the country.
