Nainital, March 21 (ANI): A student of class 12 in hill town of Nainital in India's northern Uttarakhand province,Rajesh Adhikari, has created a shoe that can now even charge a mobile phone. This means that no matter where you are, wearing these shoes gives one a reason to get up and walk. He said that the idea of making such a waterproof charger struck when it snowed heavily in Nainital and many people, including him, had to suffer due to power shutdown in the city. This turned out to be an inspiration for him which made him make a powerhouse out of a shoe and make full use of the energy generated out of the footwear when a person walks. Apparently, this charger can also be used to light a bulb at home when there is no electricity only by installing a battery in the shoe. Mar 21, 2014
