Eco Factor: Piezoelectric devices embedded on highways to generate electricity from moving cars. Ten months after a concept was developed at Innowattech, which could solve the global energy crisis, the first practical test of energy generating...

Eco Factor: Kinetic energy generated from marching soldiers to be converted into energy. A soldier’s backpack typically weighs about 75kgs, out of which 10kgs is the weight of the batteries that fuel the electronics present in the gear....

Eco Factor: Running shoes equipped with electroluminescent polymers powered by piezoelectric generators. If you’re a fitness freak but don’t always want to carry a flashlight to illuminate your way after dark, industrial designer Alberto...

Eco Factor: Nanoscale piezoelectric generators could end battery dominance. Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed new nanosized generators that can convert the energy of movement into electricity, which can then be fed.

Eco Factor: Piezoelectric devices installed on highways to harvest energy from passing vehicles. Researchers at the Techion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa hope to convert open highways into renewable energy generators using the technology.

Eco Factor: Piezoelectric devices to harness the motion of passengers passing through ticket gates. A couple of days ago we told you how piezoelectric devices could be the key to speech powered mobile phones. While those piezoelectric devices were.

Eco Factor: New research indicates that sound can be a source of energy for cellphones and portable electronics. A cellphone normally spends its battery power to keep our conversations going. However, new research indicates a future of cellphones..
