Living in the twenty first century means that you are going to own gadgets. It is almost impossible to keep up in the busy modern world if you don’t have some type of cellular device connecting you to the rest of the globe. However, even though we are the most technologically advanced generation in the history of the world, our gadgets have quite a few limitations. The main and most formidable one is that all of electronics rely on batteries. We can power a rover on Mars using our phone, until it runs out of batteries, then we’re stuck with plastic and buttons. Our wireless devices are not as mobile as we would like, they rely heavily upon charging. Electricity is crucial to the world, and yet there are other forms of energy all around that we hardly tap into.

Capitalizing on Energy
For centuries humans have been able to capture both the power of wind and water through the kinetic energy. The idea is relatively simple: If you have a constant source of movement then you can capture it and manipulate it to create an energy source. As of late, developers have been figuring ways to capitalize on different type of movement. If windmill and water plants can make energy from movement why shouldn’t we use the energy of the human body?
