Charge Your Phone's Battery by Sending an SMS

I have seen mobile batteries being charged by a charger or wireless charging like that of Nokia Lumia 920 but this is a totally a new concept where your Phone's battery gets charged up by just sending a "SMS". Buffalo Grid has developed a solar-powered cellphone charging station that gets activated by an SMS. The system can be beneficial for people living off-grid as recharging their phone is now an SMS away.

Paper-Powered Battery

CAN A PAPER PRODUCE ELECTRICITY????  Think a while and then read.

Ya I am talking about a paper power technology. Do you believe that a paper can produce electricity, if not then read this article you will get to know….

I was really amazed after listening that Sony recently demonstrated a new battery technology in Japan, which uses waste paper to generate electricity. It is a type of Bio-Battery; it converts waste paper into sugar, which is used as a fuel to generate electricity. The current prototype battery is powerful enough to run basic music players, and in time, will be able to run mobile phones as well. The question of how to package it, with its liquid contents, remains unanswered however.

Sony’s bio-battery is also considered environmentally friendly as it doesn’t use any harmful chemicals. A prototype of the paper-powered battery was shown off at the Eco-Products exhibition in Tokyo, last week. Attendees were asked to drop a piece of paper or cardboard into the liquid (made up of water and the enzyme cellulase), and then shake it. A few minutes later, the battery powered up a small fan.

Breaking down the paper with the enzyme into glucose sugar, the battery then combines the sugar with oxygen as well as other enzymes, converting it to hydrogen ions, water, gluconolactone acid, and electrons – producing electricity. A large part of the process can be likened to how termites break down wood to produce sugar, and energy.

"Using a 'fuel' as simple as old greetings cards - the sort of cards that millions of us will be receiving this Christmas - the bio battery can deliver enough energy to power a small fan. Of course, this is still at the very early stages of its development, but when you imagine the possibilities that this technology could deliver, it becomes very exciting indeed."

So now you all should not waste paper and similar products instead you should think about this technology before throwing a paper away. If you get such technology comment what will you do?

If you have any such innovative ideas you can post a comment and I will help you go your way.
