Dyson Energy – James Dyson Award 2009
As a result of daily situation observations, we have chosen to resolve the lack of autonomy of our mobile devices. We have created « Dyson Energy », a bracelet which allows the user to create his own energy in mobility to recharge its mobile devices. Camille Lefer – Clément Faydi – Mathieu Servais – Mickaël Denié

Now thats a good use of technology, i always thought they should make electronics that use the human body for a source of power.
Ask ‘em when they’re running out. Ask ‘em when there’s no heat in their homes and they’re cold. Ask ‘em when their engines stop. Ask ‘em when people who have never known hunger start going hungry. You wanna know something? They won’t want us to ask ‘em. They’ll just want us to get it for ‘em!
Phone’s REALLY need to be less power hungry for such a thing to work. The Seebeck effect creates a voltage at < 10 degrees C but not any significant amount of power in the order of what is needed for such an application. Not even sure whether if you cover your whole body in this, you'd get enough power for a decent charge!
wearing rubber squares on your skin for hours to charge your cell phone for a few extra minutes sounds smart and comfortable.
