LED Strip Lights Co Are Excited By Disney Research’s “Paper Generator”

Oct. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- The silver-coated polyester, Teflon sheet and paper device allows users to light up LED bulbs, instigate the movement of an attached object or build up enough charge to cause a noise by rubbing or tapping. The product, which can also power E Ink technology like that used in Kindles, looks set to completely redesign the way children see books in the future.

According to a news article on Dvice.com, the science behind the product is very similar to how rubbing your feet on carpet can conduct static electricity. The relatively inexpensive design means that materials such as batteries are virtually redundant, as they may now be replaced by the renewable energy source of movement. Whilst such movement wouldn’t be able to power lighting in a household, it could power interactive games, cards and books.

A spokesperson from online LED store http://www.ledstriplightsco.co.uk/ commented on the story – “A lot of LED specialists have spoken about the low consumption of energy that LEDs require, now this proves it; LED light bulbs that can be powered by what is virtually static. We love reading about new developments in the LED field and this is no exception. The basic concept of this design is the use of green, kinetic energy – if we’re instilling this sentiment into our children from a young age they will hopefully be conscious of the energy constraints their generation are looking to inherit.

“If the basic functionality of this product can be built on a larger scale – much like a wind farm, we will have another renewable energy source at our disposal. We are hugely excited by the possibilities that physics supply us with and if children are excited by it too, it’ll be a bright future.”
