Soon just walking down the street could help keep your laptop battery juiced.
In 2007, a team at Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), invented a flexible battery with the potential to revolutionise wearable technology
Now, the Advanced Energy Storage team have integrated the battery into a wearable energy system, called the Flexible Integrated Energy Device (FIED), and are currently testing it as a backpack.
Adam Best, a member of the CSIRO team, told Mashable Australia, the FIED has three main parts: an energy harvesting system that gathers energy from the wearer's movements and sits between the backpack straps and the pack, a flexible battery that stores energy, and fabric woven from conductive fibres, which can double as cabling to connect electronic devices.
