Mobile Charge With Move Your Hand

Do you get frequent mobile phone battery ran out while on the trip? 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 get an important call? Wow! Really unpleasant things right?

Washington: You can imagine one day to charge batteries or HP iPod simply by moving the hand-movement or take a walk. Yes, it might just happen. Because based on the news circulating out there that soon it could be realized in real life. Just you wait!

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

This study will probably have a major impact on defense technology, environmental monitoring, biomedical science as well as personal electronics, such as what has been said by the head of 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 used by the military when troops are far away on the battlefield."

According to the researchers, collecting energy from the environment by converting low-frequency vibrations, as well as body movements, heart rate or gusts of wind, in the form of electrical energy using Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanowires that conduct electricity well.

ZnO Nanowires are wire-Piezoelectric that produces electric current when moving hard. Diameter and wire length measuring 1 / 5, 000th and 1/25th, which means roughly the diameter of human hair.

In generating energy from movement, the researchers concluded that the way is the most effective way to develop a method that works at low frequencies and based on a material element of flexibility.

ZnO nanowires combined with these methods. At the same time, the researchers say the real advantage of this technology is that the nanowires can be grown easily on a wide range of surfaces, and nanogenerator will work in air or liquid. Type of surface that can make them grow nanowires metal, ceramics, polymers, clothing and tents. "Simply put, this technology could be used to generate energy under any circumstances as long as there is movement. Nanogenerator that will be especially important for needs while on the trip, where they are located far from sources of energy and need to use sensors or communication devices. "Said Mr.. Wang. The research was conducted at the American Chemical Society's meeting.
