You’re at a 5 day music festival and what do you think would be most the common problems music goers will face, (don’t include the portaloos)? Yep you guessed it, can’t find anywhere to charge your phone. No matter what your mobile phone manufacturer said in their manual, it’s unlikely your mobile is really going to last the 320 hours they say the battery will last on stand-by.
Well those days are gone, thanks to the brains over at Orange mobiles, they've come up with the very latest idea in charging up your mobile phone - A noise response technology T-shirt. So how do they work?
Their made from piezoelectric film which helps to convert the ambient sound waves into an electrical charge via the compression of interlaced quartz crystals. Once caught, the power is stored the power in a reservoir battery, which you can then use to charge you’re mobile or iPod etc with.
At present the T-shirts are being tested at Glastonbury, with a 170k plus people in attendance there, this is certainly an eco-friendly way to power up your mobile, so no more worries of a dead battery and certainly no more pumping out tonnes of CO2.
