Kinetic Energy in Fashion

                 When we walk, run or dance, our movement can be converted into electrical energy.  A small collection of enterprising inventors have taken the task of using clothing to capture this kinetic energy, then using it to power a watch, an mp3 player, even a mobile phone.  An industrial designer named Soledad Martin is working on a prototype to place kinetic energy harnesses in common shoes, allowing the wearer to charge a cell phone battery while they walk or run.  Recently, designer Rafael Rozenkranz has built a jogging suit with an embedded mp3 player that runs solely off the kinetic energy produced during a jog.  The technology isn’t necessarily new, but it is making its way into fashion more and more each decade.  One early example of kinetic energy in fashion was with kinetic watches, which have ran off the movement of the human body since the 1980s
