Coming soon: New tech could charge cell phones with your voice

Voice that can charge your mobile phone

Owners of mobile phones may soon be able to charge their gadgets' batteries by shouting or yelling.

New research promises a way to charge phones using the human voice: Electrical engineers in South Korea Dr Sang-Woo Kim have developed a new technique for turning sound into electricity, which in the future could let you charge up your cell phone by having a lengthy conversation on it as well.

He said that powering the sound-insulating walls would have an additional benefit of reducing noise levels near highways.

Such technology, once perfected, may prove popular in the Philippines, where Filipinos are heavy users of mobile phones and similar gadgets.

According to the Telegraph article, the technology uses tiny strands of zinc oxide, this is the main ingredient of calamine lotion. It will be placed between two electrodes. A sound-absorbing pad on top vibrates when sound waves hit it, causing the tiny zinc oxide wires to compress and release. This generates electrical current that can then be used to charge a battery.

The amount, though not enough to fully charge a battery, but it will surely provide the platform where upon further improvements can be achieved, eventually leading into full functionality of the technology as desired by Dr Kim and his team, along with billions of mobile phone users all across the world.

POINT OF VIEW

This new technology is very fantastic, imagine you can be able to charge your mobile phone through your voice or any background sounds,so with this future technology it can less consumption of energy . I hope the scientist of this TeCh could soon produce this great invention here in the Philippines so that we can try how amazing it is.
