To provide electrical energy for laptop, it takes a sheet made ​​of piezoelectric film that is thinner and developed using nano technology. Layer is very thin films that can cover different parts of the electronic toy and integrated into various types of gadgets.

"The energy generated from piezoelectric method can be integrated into running shoes to download the mobile phone charging. It can also be applied to the laptop to receive energy from the motion of typing," said study co-author, Dr. Madhu Bhaskaran.

He even mentions, Piezoelectric method can also be used to alter blood pressure a source of energy for pacemakers with long battery life.
