Scientists are at it again and this time, they seem to be in touch with reality. They have invented a pair of shorts which charge up your mobile phone when you are on the move.

It is called ‘The Power Shorts’, and it stores energy and collect it to boost the wearer’s phone battery whilst they’re on the move.

This may come handy at one of those awkward times when you are supposed to meet someone and your phone dies off on you—leaving you no means to contact the other…

Would you ever wear ‘The Power Shorts’?

According to UK Sun;

And simply by going for a stroll in the shorts, an average person generates enough energy to power up a battery for four hours.

The invention could spell the end for the frustration of mobile users being left with a flat battery on their phone.

The shorts work using a fabric which turns walking into electrical power.

Gaps in the clothes are squashed together during normal movement and the energy created is then converted into juice for your mobile.

Festival-goers at the Isle of Wight Festival this weekend will be some of the first to benefit from the clever invention after scientists teamed up with Vodafone to develop the technology.

A spokesperson for the phone company said the shorts could help to transform the way that mobiles can be charged up.

Christian Cull, Director of Communications at Vodafone, said: “Our ambition was to create a practical but exciting solution to the charging-related issues experienced by many at outdoor events.

“We hope that people harness the power in their pocket to keep them chatting and texting throughout their entire festival season.”

And as well as the shorts, scientists have also come up with a SLEEPING BAG to power up smart phones whilst you doze.

The Recharge Bag works in a similar way to the shorts but instead of movement turns body heat into battery life for a mobile.

And after dozing for eight hours, it stores up enough energy to power your mobile for the rest of the day.

Professor Stephen Beeby from the University of Southampton and who is in charge of the research, said the technology could soon be rolled out more widely.

He said: “We are looking to integrate these into consumer products.”
