Earlier, Scanner Brian told you about the hiker who used her bra to signal for help. Well, it turns out that tittie carriage could not only save your life, but also power your iPod. Over at Slate, we learned that scientists have been studying the "physics of breast motion" for a while now and one perk (!) of all this research could be a bra that turns boob motion in to raw, unfettered, iPod fueling energy.
It all comes down to nanowire technology, lightening packs and the power of the T-I-T-T-Y. The article's author Adrienne So, for one, is ready to put the twins to work.
If someone were to engineer a kinetically powered bra, even one
that isn't quite as comfortable as the old-fashioned kind, I'd be
intrigued—and I might just start looking at my breasts in a different
light. Maybe it's not very sexy to see breasts as a pair of batteries,
but oil prices are so high, people are jogging to work. It may be time
for breasts to start pulling their own weight.
Hey, the prospect of saving money on batteries and electricity could even inspire us to start wearing a bra. Now, if only we could figure out how to jump a car battery with our nipples we'd be totally unstoppable.
