It Does What, Now?
Filed in archive Just Plain Weird by Eric Hanson on October 12, 2006
Clothing that Arranges the Body (CAB) is the creation of clothes designer/engineer (or so it appears, based on this idea that she's cooked up) Hannah Perner-Wilson, who designed a jacket that is "made up of pockets that connect their content with the outside via the flow of electricity. Instead of regular plugs and plugholes the electrical current flows through material magnetic fastenings." If I understand her site correctly, she's attempting to draw on the body's natural electricity (generated by interactions between the nerves and generally the province of martial artists like this guy) to power gadgets in your pockets. With magnets. Even if people are somehow able to generate enough electricity to generate a noticable charge, how does that transfer to the gadget? Also, the jackets look like they're meant for inhabitants of an institution
for the insane, which might not be the most fashionable way to go.Via Gizmodo
