Charge Devices by Static Electricity

A design firm, Frog Design, is working on a clothing concept that is capable of sustainable charging without the need for batteries or plugging into a wall outlet.

Different from the wireless charging we’ve all seen , this concept utilizes the static electricity that is generated between clothing every day and ports it into gadgets.

Essentially the design involves conductive filaments to be weaved into the fabric that will slowly collect the static electricity and eventually discharge into a gadget or other electronic device. Frog design  even went as far to suggest that the build up of electricity could be discharged on command and essentially create a superhero-style force field around the individual. This is a concept for now, but at least the designers out there are thinking about it.
