HIMACHAL PRADESH: Five years of labor bore fruits for 19-year-old Pankaj
Sharma, hailing from Kollu. He has devised a method of charging cell
phones while on the move with a pair of shoes and an apparatus lodged
in them.
His pair of energizer shoes has a dynamo attached that converts mechanical energy produced by the pressure of the foot-sole into electrical energy. A bridge rectifier then converts the produced AC current into DC current up to a capacity of five to six volts of electricity.
Says Sharma about his invention, “These are very helpful for power hit areas and they can charge your cell within an hour's time.”
Sharma, who has won the first prize in the student category from National Innovation Foundation, says he wants his innovation to be installed by the Army to enable soldiers to charge wireless radio sets without depending on electricity or solar energy.
