The Technology Review recently posted that Nokia is developing Phones that will automatically charge themselves Wirelessly, using the ambient Radio Signals around us (such as TV, Radio or Mobile Network Signals). How incredibly cool is that ?
The power harvested is small but it is almost enough to power a mobile in standby mode indefinitely without ever needing to plug it into the mains, according to Markku Rouvala, one of the researchers who developed the device at the Nokia Research Centre in Cambridge, UK.
… Instead of harvesting tiny amounts of power (a few microwatts) from dedicated transmitters, Nokia’s prototype is able to scavenge relatively large amounts of power — around a thousand times as much — from signals coming from miles away. Individually the energy available in each of these signals is miniscule. But by harvesting radiowaves across a wide range of frequencies it all adds up, said Rouvala.

I cannot even begin to comprehend how amazing this would be. This could put an end to the whole “Low Battery” problems Smartphone power-users face. Egads. Thoughts anyone ?
