Recharge your devices without batteries, while walking !

Recharge your devices without batteries, while walking !: "


How often have your call been disconnected while on a move, only to discover that your cell phone has run out of power?



Worry not… This time around it is Physics field of sciences, rather than technology, which has provided a kind of solution to this long pending problem of battery running out of power, be it related to your mobile, MP3 Player or iPod.

The scientists from Georgia University have claimed to have developed a mechanism which can charge a battery of devices such as cell phone and laptops, while on a move (on foot). The device taps the power of motion and produce practical amounts of electricity which can generate voltages up to 1.26 volts or even more.


Yes… the new device is meant to charge your mobiles on the back of power or the potential generated which eventually gets generated into electricity.


This process in which the ability of the applied mechanical stress is transformed into generation of electric field is known as piezoelectronics.


This process of piezoelectronics enables your battery-charged electronic devices to self-power itself which converts power of motion into energy needed to keep them ticking. It becomes a significant discovery that aims to develop self-powered devices, which do not particularly require a power outlet.


In past, we have come across the devices powered by the phenomenon of piezoelectronics such as cell phones powered by sound waves or even solar energy. Many of such high-tech devices contain components that are measured in nanometers.


The report further says that the scientists have created the device by cramming 20000 nanowires into three square centimeters. Though the subject measured in nanowires is small, its impact could be huge.


Most of the cell phones are geared up to perform multi-functions which keep on consuming battery power and are enough to snap the power limit while on the move.


How perfectly the Ad slogan of Idea Cellular fits over here….


‘Walk when you talk!’ !
