It seems almost everyday cell phone news reports various new cellular phones being announced with new features which require more powerful processors where battery life is often a obstacle. One key complaint from cell phone owners is battery life. The more powerful the smartphone, the shorter the battery life. Furthermore, as the battery ages, the batter life will reduce.
Another problem is if you are outdoors and don't have your mobile phone charger or is close to an electrical outlet, your cell phone will die. If you can access an electrical outlet, you have to wait around several minutes (approximately a half hour) to get good charge. This can be a problem.
Mechanical Energy
There are several businesses exploring cutting edge technologies to help make re-charging your cellphone quicker and simpler. One organization named InStep NanoPower has created a low-priced easy high-power energy harvester to transform mechanical energy through walking in to electrical energy (roughly 20 watts). This electric power is sufficient to increase battery time of any cellular phone.
Scientists at Simon Frasier University (SFU) in British Columbia has also designed a wearable gadget that creates energy from walking and promises to change the way we charge portable battery-powered products.
Solar Technology
If you are ever stranded outdoor in the sun's light, it is possible to use solar powered energy to recharge your cell phone. There are gadgets already on the market for purchase that makes use of solar energy to recharge your cell phone. The solar panels are small enough to attach to your cell phone so when you are outdoor the mobile phone is being charged. These gadgets can recharge your cell phone, even if it's entirely dead. A full charge using solar energy takes 6 to 10 hours for most mobile phones. One company is SolDesign Lab who engineered a Solar Pump Charging Station.
Portable Power
There are many portable chargers on the market that you can travel with, in case you are not near to a charging station. One particular device is the Turbocell Charger which uses AA batteries to charge your phone's lithium battery approximately 2 hours of extra talk time. These devices should really be used as backups in case you find yourself in a situation where you have no access to an electrical outlet.
Wind Energy
Orange, a U. K. based telecommunications firm, in 2007 announced plans to launch the Orange Mobile Wind Charger to recharge portable electronic devices outdoor such as mobile phones.
The Mobile Wind Charger is a mini turbine that connects to the top of a camping tents and stores electricity in a control box that you can plug into your cellular phone. The unit is designed for use outdoor and will take about 24 hours to thoroughly recharge the common cellphone with winds of 12 mph.
