Student Designs Jewelry That Uses Veins As A Power Source

In Fowler Show on YouTube by Hlarson0 Comments

We’ve all been there: running out of power on your cell-phone with no prospect of a charger in the near future. It’s one of the most frightening possible scenarios for a lot of people these days.

Naomi Kizhner, an Israeli graduate student, may have solved that problem. Naomi is designing jewelry that could theoretically harness your body’s energy to generate electrical power.

Some of her devices are a little bit creepy- they are embedded into the wearer’s veins, and, in theory, would use the wearer’s movements and blood flow to turn a small wheel inside the device, generating electricity.

Most people are probably pretty uncomfortable with the idea of embedding energy-producing jewelry into their body. But that’s exactly what Kizhner was hoping for:

“I wanted to provoke the thought about how far will we go to in order to ‘feed’ our addiction in the world of declining resources,”
she said in an interview with Cosmopolitan.

The “speculative” jewelry is part of a project that Kizhner is calling “Energy Addicts”. The project includes three pieces: The Blinker, The E-pulse Conductor and The Blood Bridge.
