Hey please don’t think that I am going to discuss physics here. The following can actually bring a much awaited evolution in the mobile arena.
Lets first talk about Peizoelectric materials, which can generate electrical currents through simple mechanical stresses - they essentially convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The technology has great potential for future energy-generation solutions, including future cellphones powered by your body!
New research breakthroughs in nanowire technology has allowed scientists to harness the energy of low-frequency vibrations (like a heart beat or the rise and fall of your chest as you breathe) using zinc oxide nanowires.
Wow?! Imagine plugging in your dead cell phone or laptop for 20 seconds, and you have a full charge! Imagine doing that hundreds of times without the battery wearing out! Imagine doing that while reducing/eliminating the problem with exploding lithium batteries… And what if the batteries were cheaper too?
Soon you may be able to live the dream:
