Power Your Gadgets By Breathing

[HardOCP News]

How about a wearable device that uses the power of breathing to charge your gadgets? No, this is not a joke. Well, it could be…but it looks feasible. Unfortunately, it under performs while the wearer is breathing normally. You never know though, you might be able to strap this thing on and convince your significant other you need some “heavy breathing” to charge your nano.

The chest-worn device was intended to output around one-watt for charging a cellphone, which could purportedly juice it up in just under three hours, but unfortunately for us all, this seemingly brilliant device only mustered about 50mW of energy.

Does this finally give the government an excuse to tax the air we breathe?
You could always hook it up when browsing your favorite porn site,might help ease the power bill,especially if you bought a XT 2900.

The next step is to combine it with the breathalyzer like device we heard about a while ago.. you know, the one that keeps you from making drunk phone calls that you will later regret.

They should make a device that's powered by farting. Then I have a response when my friends say something stupid like "Why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it."
