Some people have no access to electricity, he adds. For them, &ldquo;a simple source of light is big,&rdquo; he says.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1402597068370_1403\">Now Angelo is creating a new way to generate power. He placed two pairs of physio-electric discs on the insole of each shoe. The discs produce energy when any type of pressure is placed on them. That energy is then channeled to a USB port, which an electronic device can plug in to.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1402597068370_1405\">&ldquo;My insole generator does not use coils, motors, magnets, or anything that involves moving parts,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;We have a pair (of physio-electric discs) mounted back-to-back. When you make back-to-back pairs, you\u2019re able to harvest twice the power.&rdquo; (<a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/blogs\/trending-now\/filipino-teen-creates-shoes-that-can-charge-a-phone-by-walking-181805265.html\">Read more<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/blogs\/trending-now\/filipino-teen-creates-shoes-that-can-charge-a-phone-by-walking-181805265.html\">Source<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"attribution\">(<span>Source:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>diy: Filipino Teen Creates Shoes That Can Charge a Phone by Walking A 15-year-old with an insatiable thirst for science has developed shoes that can charge your phone or any USB-powered device by\u00a0simply walking.
