it such an ironic when i did think about this matter for quite sometime now. and it kicks me by surprise when i read the first topic in Yahoo! about “Prototype Nokia phone recharges without wires”.
have you face dilemma when your phone runs out battery and you just need to use it for emergency. or NOT haha and its such a pain when you know there are much credits balance in your phone but you can’t use. why? because your phone off battery and you have no charger. haha
not believe me? read this:
Nokia, however, has taken another baby step in that direction with the invention of 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.
While “traditional” (if there is such a thing) wireless power systems are specifically designed with a transmitter and receiver in mind, 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. A huge range of frequencies can be utilized by the system (there’s no other way, really, as the energy in any given wave is infinitesimal). It’s the same idea that Tesla was exploring 100 years ago, just on a tiny scale.
Mind you, harvesting ambient electromagnetic energy is never going to offer enough electricity to power your whole house or office, but it just might be enough to keep a cell phone alive and kicking. 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 — provided you’re not stuck deep underground where radio waves can’t penetrate.
Nokia says it hopes to commercialize the technology in three to five years.
I’m dying to this model since Libby ( sisterhood travelling pants 2) own it! but 2.0mp and LG (no offence for LG user. I’m quite a ganas2 type. this kind of phone will broken within a second) is such a turn off! I love the side-flipping sound. such adore!
its Nokia, touch screen, 3.2mp,up to 16GB, express music means great sound but rm1600 maybe too much?
this one is crazy! 800×480 screen, QWERTY, touch screen, 3.2mp and lots more! this one is a dying one and one hell of price too! argh! WAY out my price range. bye bye Xperia X1 wuuu
8.1mp! its cybershot! one hell of camera haha.. 1600 still too much for me to bear.
n-series always a catching one. 32Gb internal memory, 5mp Carl ZeissTessar lens, N-gage games, 3.5 inch screen. such a blow! I guess it must match up price with xperia huk
