Disney has developed a new technology that allow you to get energy by simply rubbing or touch a piece of paper . This is something the human race need because , you know , everything will expect a level of interactivity in the future — even old - fashioned paper book .
Disney ’s paper generators make function of electrets , which are material that keep a semi - lasting electric charge . In the slip of the demo project in the video above , the electret is a sheet of Teflon . When you rub a sheet of paper that has conductive ink printed on it with the negatively charge polytetrafluoroethylene , you generate a slight charge .
As the Disney Paperpoints out , this slight charge can be generated by different forms of touch besides scratch , like , for representative , tap . The charge can then be used to power a host of applications like lighting up LEDs or revealing a hidden excogitation on an e - newspaper publisher display .
In case it ’s not obvious from the telecasting , Disney ’s come its eyes on your kids with this applied science . In a world full of lozenge and smartphones , average child ’s books are extend to seem middling ho-hum to shaver in the future tense . A little human - powered interactivity could help make Book more fun to read . Hell , most adults you bang could belike utilise a little bonus to find fault up anything paper and gaze at it for more than one minute at a time . rub to the rescue of meter reading .
