Dandelion,
designed by Mary Huang in collaboration with Jennyfer Kay is a wearable
that captures energy from wind and human movement. Inspired by the
theme of climate change, Dandelion which was made with 99% salvaged
materials explores the ideas of personal, mobile power generation and
kinetics.
When walking or standing outside on a windy day, the windmills turn.
Small individual power generating circuits transfer the rotational
energy into usable voltage. In this prototype, the power generated turns
on white LEDs, but the energy could be used to power mobile devices or
stored for later use. - Mary Huang, Rhyme and Reason Creative.
