PowerWalk Harnesses Kinetic Energy to Charge Batteries

PowerWalk Harnesses Kinetic Energy to Charge Batteries
May-31-16
The knee-worn PowerWalk Kinetic Energy Harvester from Bionic Power will generate power to recharge batteries while the user walks.

Developed with the military in mind, the device is equipped with a gearbox that will convert the rotation speed of the knee to a higher speed more efficiently converted to electrical power. The PowerWalk system will analyze the wearer’s gait to determine the optimal time to generate power, and a pair of units worn one on each knee can harness enough power to charge four smartphones in one hour.
