Anyone who has not missed an important call or awake at the wrong time because you forgot your phone is charged overnight? Now, Nokia hopes to make that a thing of the past by developing a technology that would use the ambient radiation on radio forever a nokia battery.
According to a report by Technology Review, the Nokia Research Center (NRC) has already developed a prototype that converts the radio waves into electrical energy. RFID tags and crystal radios operate on a similar principle, but the Nokia team hopes to a wave catcher 10 times more energy than the current developing technology.
The NRC team is a power harvester that you are up to 50 milliwatts of energy, and could develop prototypes of five milliwatts ability. The article mentions that opened 50 milliwatts, a number of electronic devices to a life without a plug, since most use MP3 player with only 100 milliwatts.
Of course, the technique considerable technical challenges related to the efficiency of the harvesting machine faces, but says one of the NRC investigators that the technology could be ready in three or four years. Should lead us all a lot of time to deal with new excuses for not answering our phone, like “it was the juice” of course no longer intersect.
