The new t shirt has been specifically designed to use noise responsive technology to generate enough power to recycle an old cell phone, and a prototype for the shirt is set to be unleashed on the general public to be tested at one very noisy event indeed \u2013 that of the Glastonbury Music Festival, which kicks off on June 22nd and runs until the 26th.&nbsp; The live testing of the device is being conducted by UK cell phone giant Orange.<br>\nThe t-shirt could provide \u201ca real solution to mobile phone charging\u201d for people who are on the move a lot, reckons the co-producer of the Spirit of 71, Tony Andrews.&nbsp; \u201cSound vibrations, particularly bass frequencies, will create enough shaking to produce electricity from a material as simple as piezoelectric film,\u201d he claims.&nbsp; \u201cIt looks like it could be a real solution to mobile charging and I\u2019m interested to see how the Orange Sound Charge performs in live testing environments like Glastonbury.\u201d<br>\nThe head of sponsorship at Orange UK, Andrew Pearce, adds that \u201cIn a vibrant festival environment such as Glastonbury, sound is such an obvious medium that it seemed like a natural fit to use it in the development of this year\u2019s prototype\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If campfires, human speech and various other strange ideas on how
