Soldier on

摘要

Soldiers could one day power electronic devices such as personal radios using just their own movements on the battlefield.rnThe technology is being developed through a two-year government-sponsored programme that aims to create kinetic-energy harvesting systems that can be worn by army personnel.rnPrincipal investigator Prof Andrew Bell, director of the Institute for Materials Research at Leeds University, said soldiers using this technology will not have to carry extra supplies of batteries.
