So do knee braces have use beyond protecting your knees? You bet they do! How about using them as a power source! You had better believe it.

Boffins from the University of Pittsburgh and the Simon Fraser University in Canada have found a way to harness 30 minutes cell phone time from 1 minute’s walking. Keep that up and The Pittsburgh Steelers could power their own floodlights during matches!
