With all the important news in the world, this is the type of story that catches my eye. Scientists have fitted hamsters with tiny jackets that generate electricity from biomechanical energy as they exercise. (Not the obvious generation from the turning of the exercise wheel.) Sensors in the jacket are connected to nanogenerators that produce electricity as they bend and stretch. They estimate that with the output of the nanogenerators it would take 1000 hamsters to power a cell phone.
The idea would be for people wearing clothing that generates electricity during exercise or normal daily activities. You could just plug your cell phone into your pants and it would charge as you walk.
