Get Electricity to Charge just by Walking!

Many people love to jog around for many reasons, but wouldn’t it be better if you can benefit something out of it?

Well of course, the obvious answer would be for health. A high tech device has been made to generate electricity from the movement of the knees.

Just like how hybrid cars generate energy from breaking, it does the same.

Just by walking a minute, you’ll be able to charge your 10 min worth electricity for your cell phone.

So if you were to run, the outcome would multiply greatly. (Do your math)

It weighs 3.5 lbs, so it will not only get you some electricity, but also help you burn some calories.

That’s cool stuff! Perhaps we can put that device on every walking human on planet and the electricity generated is stored somewhere to be used globally :D

Michael Aulia, yes I like this idea very much.
I was thinking, hmm, maybe if I go on those bicycles to work my legs out, I can save some electricity? =p
