Power Felt generates electricity from body heat. Wake Forest University researcher Corey Hewitt, with a sample of the Power Felt Some day, your jacket may be able to power your iPod ... and no, I'm not talking about piezoelectric fabrics (which generate electricity from movement-caused pressure), nor am I talking about photovoltaic materials, although both of those could probably do the job.
Instead, your jacket might be made out of a new thermoelectric material called Power Felt, that converts temperature differences into electrical voltage - in the case of the jacket, the difference between its wind-cooled exterior and its body-warmed lining might be all that was needed. Power Felt was created by a team of researchers at North Carolina's Wake Forest University, led by graduate student Corey Hewitt.
