34、re a pendulum（摆锤）fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side.The packs weight is attached to the pendulum,so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk.Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement,and produces electrical current to charge a battery.Volunteers carried
