Quirky jewellery is designed to be inserted into your veins so your blood flow can be converted into ELECTRICITY - which may one day be able to power your phone
- Naomi Kizhner created pieces as part of graduation project at college
- Israeli designer wanted to investigate the force that drives economies
- Flow of blood turns golden wheels fitted inside the jewellery
- Eventually this creates enough kinetic energy to produce electrical power
Naomi Kizhner's innovative jewellery isn't for the faint hearted.
Her
decorative designs have a dual purpose and come complete with spikes at
each end, which are inserted into the wearer's veins and are able to
convert kinetic power from the body's involuntary movements into
electricity.
The
continuous flow of blood turns the golden wheel inside the design,
eventually creating enough kinetic energy to produce electricity.

Bizarre: Israeli artist Naomi
Kizhner's innovative jewellery designs come complete with spikes on
each end which insert into the wearer's veins and convert kinetic power
from the body into electricity
Would YOU wear it? Naomi Kizhner's
innovative jewellery designs aren't for the faint hearted - they come
with spikes to attach to your body so that your blood flow can create
enough kinetic which is then turned into electrical power
The
collection, which is called Energy Addicts, features three designs. The
Blood Bridge can be inserted into the veins of your lower arm.
Another piece, named The Blinker, fits onto the bridge of the nose and harnesses the energy created while blinking.
When the
wearer blinks, there's an increased flow of blood to the area around the
eyes and her statement gold jewellery collects that energy, which, she
says, can be used to light up an LED or charge your mobile devices.
Quirky: The Blinker, which can be
fitted onto the bridge of your nose, is one of her more painful looking
designs - although she insists they don't hurt
Ouch! The collection, which is called
Energy Addicts, features three designs, the first is aptly named Blood
Bridge, which can be inserted into the veins on your lower arm
Intrigued:
Speaking about her range, she said: 'In our modern life, energy is
everything, it's the force that drives economies globally, many times
disregarding the consequences'
Sharp ends: Our continuous flow of
blood turns the golden wheel that's fitted inside the design, eventually
creating enough kinetic energy to create electrical power
Quite the accessory! The Israeli
artist explains that the project seeks to deal with questions such as
'what will be the nature of society that is based on biological wealth?'
Homework: The Israeli artist created the pieces as part of her graduation project at Jerusalem’s Hadassah College
Another,
the E-pulse Conductor, is designed to be fitted on the top of your
back, collecting energy from your spinal cord nerves.
The
Israeli artist, who created the pieces as part of her graduation
project at Jerusalem’s Hadassah College, explains that the project seeks
to deal with questions such as; what will be the nature of society that
is based on biological wealth and also address how we, as humans, can
become a natural resource.
