Orange Demos T-Shirt That Can Charge iPhones

This year at Glastonbury festival, Orange will be introducing Sound Charge, a new mobile charging technology to power the mobile phones by using sound. Sound Charge consists of a t-shirt that absorbs the sound waves and produce energy that can charge two standard mobile phones or one smartphone.

The t-shirt is fabricated with a piezoelectric panel (used in speaker) to convert vibrations into energy at a rate of 6 Watts per hour. The energy produced is then stored in an external battery which can then be used to charge a phone.
