Designer Amanda Parkes has figured out a way to harness all that static electricity that builds up.

She's actually designed clothing that creates a piezoelectric effect on purpose. Which I'm pretty sure means they get static build up deliberately. The only difference is that her clothes have a small battery that stores the energy for later.

Perhaps one day soon she'll design one with a plug in so you can recharge your iPod or cell phone while you dance away the evening.

Just don't grab that door handle.
