Forgot to charge your phone before stepping out for a walk? Now you can walk the talk with an invention of four schoolchildren which allows you to charge your mobile phone with a contraption in your shoe! For that matter, the rudimentary contraption will come in handy, or leggy, outdoors while travelling, provided you have space to walk, according to the class XII science students of Vidya Bharti School at Bhatar in Surat.
The footwear, with springs in the heel that will propel a small wheel attached to a dynamo, will be able to generate enough electricity for charging your cell phone. The more you walk the more you can charge it, says Jinesh Chopra, one of the members of the team, which comprised Ipsa Agarwal, Vishwanath Patel and Nitish Jain. The team presented its device in the ‘Model Your Future’ section at Autofest ’07 held at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology last week. “The arrangement of different parts converts the linear force into rotational force, which can generate around five to six volts with each step. With constant power supply it is possible to charge a mobile fully within an hour,” says Ipsa.
