Summary:

                Professor Xudong Wang, postdoctoral Researcher Chengliang Sun and graduate student Jian Shi report creating a plastic microbelt that vibrates when passed by low-speed airflow such as human respiration. An electric charge accumulates in response to applied mechanical stress. This is known as the piezoelectric effect.

Critique:

                 They should keep looking into this for more ways to make electricity.

Impact:

                Using this method of electricity could help our planet become more eco friendly.
