New mobile phones with a coke habit?
Uni students pulling all night essay marathons may need to share their Coke with their phone … That is, if they want to keep their mobile charged to browse the net for their much needed essay filler information.
“What?” you ask
A conceptual mobile phone has been developed, in partnership for Nokia, powered by Coca Cola or similar sugary soda drinks.
The Chinese inventor, Daizi Zheng, says:
“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.”
Using the eco-friendly bio battery, which generates electricity from the carbohydrates and utilizes enzymes, has the potential to operate three to four times longer than a conventional battery’s single charge AND could be fully biodegradable.
Remember, we’ve seen something a little similar, charging with an energy drink and onion, but this puts the theories to practical – and possible – use.
A battery powered by soft drink? Now that’s sweeeet…
