Its dimensions are two centimeters both in length and width. Therefore, it is a size that makes it very dynamic and very comfortable to use. The battery is located printed under a fabric which is responsible for absorbing sweat.
Generates electricity by absorbing sweat
There are different companies and universities around the world that are also developing its flexible battery models that work with the sweat of the human being.
This fabric can accommodate some parts of the body. Therefore, we could comfortably carry this battery to recharge our Smartwatch when, for example, we go out to do sports or run.
It is key to do this type of task while one carries the battery Since when carrying out this type of activity you sweat and that allows the battery to feed thanks to its absorbent fabric.
Battery It is composed of an element that attracts water and silver “scales”. When these components are exposed to sweat, a chemical reaction that generates electricity. The proof What was done to check the functioning of the battery was to place it on the wrist of a volunteer who began to do an exercise bike for thirty minutes.
The results were that a voltage of more than 4 volts and an output power of almost 4 milliwatts, which was more than enough energy to power a temperature sensor that was continuously sending data to a Smartphone through a Bluetooth connection.
Comfortable, small and does not pollute
Another advantage of this new battery is that it is not made with no chemicals or heavy metals, something that is of great importance when it comes to recycling.
As the main head of the group of scientists assures, this new battery could be more durable than today’s technologya, since it can withstand all the effort and activities that a person does throughout the day, in addition to being exposed to sweat.
What’s more, its flexible design and small size they allow you to accommodate the user with that subtle design.
