The more you fidget in this chair, the more gadgets it can charge

The MOOV chair is still a prototype at this point, but a working one. Under the seat’s cushion are 288 piezoelectric crystals that produce a charge when compressed or squeezed. So the act of just sitting down creates a surge of power, but you’ll need to remain restless and constantly moving to produce enough power to charge a phone. Forget a standing desk, the MOOV will give you an even better workout if your phone is dying.

One thought on “The more you fidget in this chair, the more gadgets it can charge”

  1. Proof of fidgeting is surely that someone swaps out your chair (maybe to the next building…) but I can’t wait ’til they prove out a chair to make heartrate voluble to 150BPM a couple hours a day (without feeding the chair –debuglevel=13.) Users will start to gain a one-inch punch with their backsides or that armrest, if they’re somehow adapted to piezodevices…

    psfk.com’s an interesting source too. Pfister Sotterhouse Fischer Koopers? Pseudoshell filekit?

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
