Now here's a truly electrifying dress in every sense of the word - Amanda Parkes' dress generates power when the wearer moves, relying on kinetic energy as a result of natural gestures of the human body in motion. Piezoelectric material located around the joints of the elbows and hips of the garment will generate power in response to applied mechanical stress, where this electricity will be stored as voltage in a tiny centralized battery. I sure hope there won't be a short circuit somewhere as I might be deemed as a liar then with my pants on fire.
