Victoria's Circuit Harnessing the untapped power of breast motion

As a woman who loves sports, I've always found the concept of breasts bothersome. If all goes according to plan, they will fulfill their intended function for about three of the 70 years that I have them. The rest of the time, they alternate between getting in my way and embarrassing me. They are a favorite target of Frisbees and soccer balls. Finding sports bras is a chore.

The idea of an energy-generating bra isn't as crazy as it might sound. A company called Triumph International Japan recently unveiled a solar-powered bra that supposedly will generate enough energy to power an iPod. But I live in foggy San Francisco and prefer not to walk around in my underwear in public. Could someone design an iPod-powering bra for me?

{snip}

Still, if someone were to engineer a kinetically powered bra, even one that isn't quite as comfortable as the old-fashioned kind, I'd be intrigued—and I might just start looking at my breasts in a different light. Maybe it's not very sexy to see breasts as a pair of batteries, but oil prices are so high, people are jogging to work. It may be time for breasts to start pulling their own weight.

Is this chick self-centered or what?

power generating bra...add a couple of “strategically placed” Ultra bright LED’s...you have a pair of “bust lights” for night biking or jogging.

They already get you free meals, free drinks, free transportation if you ask. They open doors automaticaly and if you expose them just right to the sun, they’ll change your tires for you and even cut your grass for you. Heck, my wife even gets them to start her car when her battery is dead!

LOL how very “San Franciscan”.

I didn’t realize breasts had only one function - to feed offspring - no wonder the woman is dissatisfied. Seems
as if they were unwelcome from a very early age.

She might think again on a source of energy and power which appears sustainable: her tongue.

Warning: The follow contains breasts in motion. (Can’t calculate how much power would be generated.)

I asked Wang if this bra would be machine-washable. "You don't need to wash a bra!" he said.

Well, Ugh!

That said, the designers must realize that this is energy discrimination. Women with small breasts will not be able to generate any power.

As far as mammary glands go I have never been attracted to large ones. B or C cups are just fine.

Appears to be approx. 12 cu mouthfuls.

Potential energy is a broad term.

[Dead Corpse]

I smell an epic thread coming on...

Thanks for keeping us abreast of this very important news item. A nervous titter is sure to run through the FR community after reading this. Shoot, some here are likely to bust out laughing.

Enough to charge my Tesla coil :)

Yeah, well, mine are just starting to come in and I ain’t getting squat.

You’ve been devoting far too much time researching this subject.

;o))

Keep rubbing them, they may grow...

[absolootezer0]

How many times do I have to tell you? You don’t put a bra in a dryer! It warps!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

What can I say...it's a hobby of mine.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

That is true....the dryer ruins the elastic.

Hey! Don't leave out us ladies.

[Slings and Arrows]

This is the breast engineering idea I've heard in years.

Mewbs!!!!!

Is it Friday already?

Subtle, but very funny !!

The cone-shaped bra is out of style.

???
Good-looking women can get good use out of them for 20 years at least.
