Pangloss Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 According to this article we will soon see a host of gadgets that recharge themselves or other devices' batteries by converting natural movement energy into electrical power. http://www.news.com/2300-1008_3-6229842-1.html?tag=nefd.pop I thought that was kinda interesting in part because I'm currently reading "Pushing Ice" by Alastair Reynolds (pretty good book, btw), which features a lot of tech like that. The original article in Science is here, but it's subscription-only: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/319/5864/807 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
