Coming soon, Charge Mobile With Move Your Hand

Have you sometimes run out of phone battery whilst on the move? Maybe a little bit troublesome for you if have to go anywhere with a phone to die, then how about at the same time there was a sudden important call comes in? Wow! It's really an unpleasant thing is not it?

Washington: It is conceivable that one day to charge the battery or the HP iPod just by moving the hand-movement or pick it up while walking the streets. Yes, it might just happen. Because according to news circulating out there in a minute that it can be realized in real life. Just wait!

The experts are considering the use of technology that can convert mechanical energy (motion) derived from body movement, or movement of blood flow in the body into electrical energy (electricity), which harness the vast range of electronic devices without using the battery.

This research may have a major impact on defense technology, environmental monitoring, biomedical science and personal electronics, such as what has been said by the Leadership Research Zhong Lin Wang from Georgia Institute of Technology.

In fact, "the latest Nanogerator could have many applications, and there is a way to run electronic devices commonly used by the military when troops are far away on the battlefield."

According to the researchers, collecting energy from the environment is to change the low-frequency vibrations, such as body movements, heart rate or wind, into the form of electrical energy using Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanowires that can conduct electricity well.

ZnO nanowires are piezoelectric-wire that produces an electric current as it moved hard. The diameter and length of wire size 1 / 5, 000th and 1/25th, which means the size of the diameter of human hair.

In the production of energy originating motion, the researchers conclude that it is the most effective way to develop a method that works on a low frequency and flexibility based on the material elements.

ZnO nanowires combined with any of these ways. At the same time, the researchers said a significant advantage of this technology is that the nanowires can be grown easily in a variety of surfaces, and nanogenerator will work in air or liquids. Type of surface that could make them grow nanowires of metal, ceramic, polymer, clothing and tents. "Simply put, this technology could be used to produce energy in any condition as long as there is movement. Nanogenerator be especially important when in travel demand, where they are far away from sources of energy and need to use a sensor or communication device. "Said Mr. Quin. Wang. This research was conducted at the American Chemical Society's meeting.
