SolePower

Portable Power, Wearable Technology

With SolePower’s power-generating insoles (“EnSole”), a charged cell phone is only steps away. Named Popular Science’s 2014 Invention of the Year, the 2014 African Innovation of the Year – Energy Category, and winner of the Steve Case Rise of the Rest Tour, SolePower is already garnering national media attention and accolades. With each heel strike, SolePower's patented device spins a micro generator embedded inside each waterproof EnSole and generates electricity. The energy is stored in the SolePower PowerPac, an ultra-light, external power bank attached to your shoelaces. A one hour walk with a pair of EnSoles will provide 2.5 hours of talk time. The small profile of their device allows for greater flexibility and greater market potential. The same device can be used in outdoor, military, and emerging markets. The device is placed inside an interchangeable insole, providing users with greater value. The EnSole is a power source as portable as the technology it powers!
