CAL JACKET / VITRUVIAN PROJECT - PROTOTYPE C1: Women’s jacket that recharges the batteries with the Seebeck effect. This effect corresponds to the appearance of a voltage produced by a temperature difference between conductive bodies which convert this flux into electric current. Worn on the skin, this 3D texture jacket explores the potential of heat exchanges between the body and the surrounding air. The sleeves are made of S.Café fabric. This "streetwear" is the first example of garment recovering the energy produced by the human body. (Developed/Photo: Design Percept, Vitruvian Power, EDF, IFTH and Tresse Industrie)
