Imagine how all my journalistic fantasies were fulfilled when I found an article with this real headline:
"Harnessing the untapped power of breast motion."
Immediately, I was reminded of the character in "Mean Girls" who thinks her boobs can forecast the weather. But the aforementioned article is way more high-tech than that. An excerpt:
It turns out that the physics of breast motion have been studied closely for the last two decades by a gamut of researchers, most of them women. LaJean Lawson, a former professor of exercise science at Oregon State University, has studied breast motion since 1985 and now works as a consultant for companies like Nike to develop better sports bra designs. Lawson was enthusiastic about my idea but warned it would be tricky to pull off. You would need the right breast size and the right material, she explained, and the bra itself would have to be cleverly designed. "It's just a matter of finding the sweet spot, between reducing motion to the point where it's comfortable but still allowing enough motion to power your iPod," she said.
That's some pretty sweet technology. OK, ladies: If you could power one device with your chest, what would it be?
