The inventors from around the world do not stop coming up with technology to revitalize the mobile devices in which the battery low. Top 10 Ways to Charge include mechanical energy converters, as well as respiratory, noise, sun, wind and heat.
1. Hand dynamo charging
This mechanical charger requires the use of physical force. Rotate the device, you can get the precious energy that could recharge your mobile phone or any USB-device. Minute rotation will charge enough to make a short call or send a text message. To fully charge the battery from the unit, will have to work much more seriously.
2. Cycle Charge
Not to twist the dynamo hand, you can buy a bicycle version of this device. Its principle of operation is the same, only the cylinder dynamo mounted in the wheel and the charger and holder for your mobile phone - for bicycle handlebars. Even at the speed of 12 km / h efficiency of the device is the same as the conventional charging devices operating from the mains.
3. Fuel cell battery
Pocket fuel converter, comparable in size to a deck of playing cards, can get energy from the gas. The device operates on replaceable butane cartridges. One such cartridge the size of a cigarette lighter enough to between 10 and 14 times the battery fully charge a smartphone. The developer of these devices Lilliputian Systems claims that the fuel converter you can take it everywhere, including aircraft, which could make him popular among fans of frequent traveling or working in cafes freelancers.
4. Breathing mask AIRE
This charger uses the principle of wind turbines. Only for rotation therein an electric power is not used to wind mill that rotates and that is blown out of the human nose. Enough to wear a mask to connect it to your mobile device and you can work, play sports or even sleep. Miniature wind turbines inside the mask with AIRE will convert the energy of breath in charge of the mobile device. In addition to saving energy and helping to preserve the environment, these chargers mask will encourage people to be physically active, - says the device maker Yoko Paulo Lammoglia.
5. The energy of heart
American University of Georgia scientists have created a system that can produce electricity from the human body. The unit will consist of many tiny microchips that are based on Nanogenerators. As to the body, they can generate energy for charging the mobile device from the smallest pulse human body or body part. The energy source can be any movement of the person, including wiggling fingers and palpitations.
6. Umbrella-charging
The decision to combine the charger with a means of protection from the sun and the rain has come up with a British company Vodafone. Its structure Booster Brolly looks like an ordinary umbrella, but he has a twelve-volt flexible solar panels on the roof antenna to amplify the cellular signal, the battery in the handle, energy storage, and USB-port through which to charge mobile devices.
7. USB-pan Pan Charger
Outlandish pan from USB-port, created by Japanese corporation TES NewEnergyCorporation, can convert any heat, including campfires, into electricity to charge your phone, MP3-player or other USB-devices. Pan is made of special thermoelectric material. Generation of electricity in it is due to the so-called Seebeck effect - a current of 200-250 mA occurs between the thermocouples with different temperature (about 550 degrees Celsius by the fire, and 100 degrees in boiling water). This is enough to fully charge the average smartphone for three to five hours. Unlike a solar generator, our pot can be used at any time of day, in any weather, and its compact dimensions make it easy to carry it in a bag, - said the developer Pan Charger Rioja Funahashi.
8. Charging the sound
Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of the South Korean SungKyunKwan working on a device that can receive energy sound that is always present in our daily lives: the human voice, music and noise of the city. The technology is in a thin filament tension of zinc oxide between two electrodes. Located on absorbing playground vibrates under the influence of the sound waves, resulting in the movement of the wiring zinc oxide, resulting in that production takes place, and the electric current. Currently, this development is in the prototype stage, which can work out 50 millivolts of energy from the sound of 100 dB loudness (volume passing car). In the near future, the Korean developers promise to increase the energy efficiency of their claims.
9. Fan iFan
This device, created by Dutch designer Teerdom Veenhovenom, wind power. iFan has a view of a sleeve for a smartphone with an attached on top of standard computer fan. To charge the mobile device, it is enough to put out this fan in the cab window, attach it to the steering wheel of a moving bicycle or put on a bench in the park under the gusts of wind.
10. The piezoelectric film
Australian researchers of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology are close to the creation of commercial devices capable of generating electricity due to mechanical pressure. Scientists have developed a piezoelectric film, producing energy when you click on them. Being placed on the keyboard and the touch screen, they allow the user to charge a laptop, typing on the keyboard and touching the screen. The charge for a mobile phone will be available by placing a piezoelectric film in the soles of sneakers. While the amount of energy generated by these films is less than ten times that required for modern electronic devices. However, scientists believe that this lack can be overcome in the next few years.
