Load back pack

Lightning Packs received one patent with 25
claims for the electricity-generating backpack (US
#6,982,497, issued on Jan 3, 2006), and has two
US patents and Canadian and European patents
pending for electricity-generating and ergonomic
backpacks. The Lightning Packs team has also
carried out extensive research over the past 2
years on the biomechanics and physiology of
humans carrying loads and generating electricity
with the Suspended load Backpack.

finding a solution to such a universal problem as
electricity generation in remote areas coupled with
technological advances in low power devices, will
likely solve problems that are not even anticipated
today. Ergonomic Backpacks Although the driving
force for the original design was to produce
electrical energy, we have shown that the
Suspended-load Backpack can be "retuned" to
help humans with another problem, carrying
around heavy loads. Based on our results, wearing
the Suspended-load Backpack will reduce peak
ground forces and more importantly reduce forces
on the shoulder.
_ts one of the example was in Mexico where
to glow street lights in an area where
electricity was not easily possible for all
time.So, a scientist gave this to lay the
suspended load back pack on the road points
where was max. traffic. Due to the load of the
vehicles and the peoples the cells get charged
and in the night they were used to glow the
street lights with out consuming electricity .
henerator converting noise pollution
principle:----> We all know that it is possible
to produce electricity from sound.
Microphones are the simplest example. But
we can use noise pollution for generating
considerable amount of electricity. The idea
is based on the same scheme as microphone
but for the purpose of generating electricity
we can think of a huge array of microphones
installed near noisy places to perform like
windmill.

_t is possible that sound waves at the kinds of noisy sites
referred here would carry enough energy to generate
economically useful amounts of electricity for everyday
situations. Moreover, there are situations where small
amounts of electricity generated from sound would be of
value. Presently, even if we surrounded the noise place with
devices capable of converting that noise into useful energy we
would only capture a tiny amount of the total energy being
available in the noise pollution zone and it would cost a lot of
money to do it.However, it will be great to see this creative
idea of converting wasted sound energy into useful energy
working.

Èecent advances in energy conversion have also shown a
great hope in this direction. Èesearchers from Los Alamos
National Laboratory and Northrop hrumman Space
Technology (USA) have built a compact generator that
converts heat to electricity with the relatively high efficiency
of 18 per cent. The generator uses a small version of a
thermoacoustic sterling engine developed at Los Alamos in
1999. That engine converted heat to acoustic energy using no
moving parts. Compressed helium cycles between heat
exchangers, and the movement of the gas generated sound
waves. _n the generator, the sound waves from the engine
drive a piston, which moves a coiled copper wire. As the wire
moves through a magnetic field produced by a permanent
magnet it produces electricity.
Though noise is undesirable in general but it is indispensable
in many cases of its generation. ͞Observe silence͟ slogans
never fit to crowded places like bus stations, railway stations
and airports etc. Noise pollution at such places can be put to a
meaningful application if it can be converted into electric
energy with the help of an array of microphones or thermo-
acoustic engines. Microphones equipped with powerful
magnets like ͞Neodymium magnets͟ can be made smaller,
with more linear frequency response and higher output level.
Let us hope that further scientific and technological
developments in microphone technology as well as in thermo-
acoustic sterling engine will improve the efficiency of sound
energy conversion into electricity. The noise pollution which is
a waste-resource thus can be put into the best use for
mankind.
