LONDON: Next time your cellphone runs out of battery, you can charge it
by just holding it in your hand, as scientists claim to have developed a
new technology that turns body heat into electricity. Researchers say
they have developed a way to turn body heat into electricity using
nanotechnology to put tiny carbon tubes into miniscule plastic fibres
and made them look like a fabric.
...
The 'Power Felt' can keep
your phone going for up to 20% longer just through the power of touch,
meaning simply holding one, or even sitting on it, could recharge the
cell. The technology has been created by professor David Carroll of
Wakeforest University's centre for nanotechnology and molecular
materials in the US.
According to
Carrol, it could be the first wave of inexpensive ways to produce
electricity that were far more affordable than current renewables such
as solar, which was being held back by the high cost.
