Created a device that turns the human body into a battery

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a device that can transform the body

person into the battery. It will be possible to charge wearable devices.

The invented device stretches well, soit can be worn, for example, as a ring or bracelet. The development is capable of generating about one volt per square centimeter of skin. This is enough to power smart watches or fitness trackers.

Another advantage of the development is thatthat it can repair itself when damaged, and is also fully recyclable. It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional electronics.

“Whenever you use a battery, youdischarge it and eventually you have to replace it. The coolest thing about our thermoelectric device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with a constant power supply, ”the scientists said.
