Tiny Green Bubble • Clean Energy Through Boobs

So’s idea came back in the day when motion energy was just taking off. The kinetic powered dance floor that would later be the basis for kinetic powered street lights in France had just happened. so so thought, “Why not a bra so that my breasts have use?”

Right now, men are saying “But your breasts do have use!” Clearly a sign that they (hopefully) do not have breasts to deal with themselves or they would know better. and mothers are pointing out that breasts have use, but not all of us are mothers. and even if we were, breast feeding does not (or should not!) last long enough to justify the inconvenience of boobs.

So did the research and found out that her vision was possible and that, somewhat disturbingly, the idea of breast motion had been studied since 1985. so consulted with LaJean Lawson who consults for Nike (or did at the time of the writing) to develop better sports bras. Lawson warned so, however, that the design of the bra would be tricky if it were to capture boob motion because boobs move on three axis. It’s true. they move up and down, right to left and front to back. It’s the up and down that would create the most energy, but because of the three axis, efficiency is an issue.

Natural endowment is an issue too! let me tell you, I’m a distance runner and these babies wouldn’t even power a mini-flashlight. On the other hand, I know some women who could power an air control tower with their girls.

In her research, so found two options for capturing boob energy. The first was a bra made of material that captures energy. believe it or not, that’s a possibility! The second was to use something like a strap to basically move and convert the energy.

You can read So’s original article here. in the meantime, I’ll try to prep myself to not feel inadequate about my small boobs when the day comes where breasts are powering our emergency generators.
