MOV-BIOS
Nicolas Hussey - ArgentinaLong working hours; dramatically fast production times --generated by machine implementation in production processes --, automobiles, elevators, airplanes, trains, and conveyor belts everywhere; people using instant messages and virtual communication as a form of networking: all of them characteristic of today's world. These factors lead to, among other things, sedentary lifestyles with its associated psychophysical effects. To think that man is physically and mentally prepared to adapt to this kind of changes in just a few years is unreasonable, particularly considering that any other living form would need millions of years to adapt to similar changes.
With this in mind, the MOV-BIOS concept was developed. A system designed to capture energy released from a moving body and turn it into electric power. By incorporating conductive micro fibers to clothing and high-performance capacitors in a small device, energy released from the human body could be reused to cover for our power demands. *We could, thus, encourage people to lead more active lifestyles, not only to improve their health but also to provide themselves with electric power, so much needed for our everyday tasks. This would improve our environment trough use by reducing the exploitation of non-renewable energy resources and in this way helping create a less polluted environment.
