Prototype Nokia Phone Recharges Itself Without Wires

[Khawaja]

Nokia has invented a cell phone that recharges itself using a unique system: It harvests ambient radio waves from the air, and turns that energy into usable power.

Enough, at least, to keep a cell phone from running out of juice.

To quote: Nokia's system isn't finicky about where it gets its wireless waves. TV, radio, other mobile phone systems - all of this stuff just bounces around the air and most of it is wasted, absorbed into the environment or scattered into the ether.

Nokia picks up all the bits and pieces of these waves and uses the collected electromagnetic energy to create electrical current, then uses that to recharge the phone's battery.

Currently Nokia is able to harvest all of 5 milliwatts from the air; the goal is to increase that to 20 milliwatts in the short term and 50 milliwatts down the line. That wouldn't be enough to keep the phone alive during an active call, but would be enough to slowly recharge the cell phone battery while it's in standby mode, theoretically offering infinite power.

Nokia says it hopes to commercialize the technology in three to five years.

WOW Nokia sure is growing

wirless elec is not a new thing.we already(since 5 years)heard abt it.

but d main thing is nokia done this job is more perfect way.no need 2 wirelss chageror sum.
it ll work with any radio wave:mushy:

thats a main thing.

but the circuitry required to Charge wireless Components are kinda big...and i think it was very difficult to implement such a huge circuit inside the mobile phone.

Thats one smexy looking phone, any how this technology existed before but nokia will we first to improvise it, lets see what happens

 

[fawad]

but it will pose serious health hazards, as microwaves does serious damage to neural tissue :S

Isn't the mobile looks very small in size.

U can see the pic of the mobile NOKIA HAS DONE IT in a small sized phone

but it will pose serious health hazards, as microwaves does serious damage to neural tissue :S

Fawad u got a good point out there....In the end u can read that it will come after 3 years until then they may be able to develop some technology to be safe from microwaves side effects

microwave oven, bluetooth, wifi, rc cars, cordless phones, etc etc all use microwave so there is no escape really..the difference is that nokia will use that energy to charge its mobile

Thats like Uber Cool !! :O

offtopic and really sorry but i thought there was a special phone made after the game prototype which was rechargeable =p

 

[incredibulous]

cool feature

btw the fone in the image luks sakseee
