• Heart beat, blood flow as power sources using piezoelectric nanowires

    The quest to find the best ways to derive all kinds of alternative energy sources is a common thing these days. Now, a bunch of researchers are trying to harness electricity from walking. Yeah, a human being walking considering the rate of the heart beating or even the flowing of blood. They have discovered how to use zinc oxide or piezoelectric nanowires in order to generate an electric current when subjected to mechanical stress.


    Nothing is fixed yet but if it does happen it seems that these critters could be implanted under the skin – which does not sound safe, easy, relieving or even advisable.
