Aside from providing terraflops of images for Google to index, and providing sustenance for tomorrow’s leaders, boobs aren’t doing much to benefit mankind. Adrienne So, a writer for Wired, thought the best of the breasts could be put to work generating real power, not the fake power tatas have over men.
Over the next 5 years, Professor Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology plans to produce and release a T-shirt that can generate energy from the bouncing of bosoms. She figures the fabric will generate enough to power a cell phone and she hopes that push-up bras will be replaced by charge-up bras.
