So I thought to myself what could be the first blog I post about at Greenwala? Well I came across a post about a Nokia Cellphone that can be powered by a can of Coke.
YES! That is right a can of soda! Is this the first signs of a Back to the Future future coming true!?
The concept behind this is amazing and one can only wonder what the potential of this technology could mean??
I have seen water powered batteries but a battery charged by soda or more specifically a "Bio Battery" that is powered by carbs! Yup now we can say yes to carbs!
Of course this technology is in its early phazes, but like I said the possibilities are endless!!
Here is the post about Chinese designer Daizi Zheng that I came across with some cool looking pictures!
Enjoy!
This is a client project for designing an eco friendly phone for Nokia. Through out my research, I found that phone battery as a power source, it is expensive, consuming valuable resources on manufacturing, presenting a disposal problem and harmful to the environment.
The concept is using bio battery to replace the traditional battery to create a pollution free environment.
Bio battery is an ecologically friendly energy generates electricity from carbohydrates (currently sugar) and utilizes enzymes as the catalyst.
By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out. Bio battery has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional lithium batteries and it could be fully biodegradable.
