Apple Ad says – ‘if you don’t have an iPhone, well you don’t have an iPhone’. Now, what we have to say is that if you don’t have iPhone, you don’t have a t-shirt that charges your phone without a charger :). A t-shirt has been manufactured by Orange which lets you charge your iPhone on the go by converting the noise waves into electrical charge. Once you are away from home and forget the charger, don’t worry because now you have the best solution to keep your phone charged 24×7. Just wear the t-shirt, place it in the perfect position and let it capture the noisy waves from the crowd.
However, this is only a prototype from Orange which in turn convert the noise wave (80 decibels) into electrical charge. There are some other things which may restrict customers to buy these t-shirts.
1) None of the customer will buy a t shirt that has a huge white captured area on the front side. Definitely, it doesn’t look attractive at all.
2) The noise level should be atleast 80 decibels which provides a power of 6 watts. Though, 5 watts is enough to charge the iPhone.
You can know more about the actual functioning of the t-shirt below :
The eco charging device uses an existing technology in a revolutionary way; by reversing the use of a product called Piezoelectric film, allowing people to charge their mobile phones whilst enjoying their favourite headline act at Glastonbury.
At anytime you can remove the panel while washing your t-shirt at home. So, it doesn’t seem to create any issue in the future. Also, check out the video embedded below to know more.
