Nokia working on 'self-charging' phone

[original PM]

This was in Focus magazine in the past year

It was said that the waves do not carry enough power? to do this.

However I suppose if the mobile is ocnstantly absorbing small trickles it may work - not sure it would work if you were on a call for 70 minutes though as I would imagine the power phone expends to make the call would be more than the power input recieved.

possibly

1893? He didn't have anything worth charging.

Wasn't there a whole thing with Edison, GE? AC vs DC?

So you want a mobile device that channels the ambient gasses from the air around us and then uses it to heat your water/house.... If you could just give me a few moments........................................

Its no good all my Engineering mates tell me I am "Farting in the Wind"

Boom-tish-BOOM!!

I was referring to their gas supply, they have the whole of Europe by the short and curlies.

They're building massive pipelines on the sea bed that will go direct into Germany and Italy so their immediate neighbours can't hold them to ransom.

Good idea for the SNP!

makes me wonder why this has been so long to arrive.

Couldn't you just phone them up and tell them?

We need something quick so we can tell the Russians to flip off.

You'd need a massive aerial in your back garden.

I wonder if this technology could be ‘up scaled’ to heat homes? We need something quick so we can tell the Russians to flip off.

I wonder if this technology could be ‘up scaled’ to heat homes? We need something quick so we can tell the Russians to feck off.

This:

Such wireless transfer of energy was first demonstrated by Nikola Tesla in 1893

makes me wonder why this has been so long to arrive.

A new research prototype phone from the company is able to power itself on nothing more than ambient radiowaves – the weak TV, radio and mobile phone signals that permanently surround us.

What a great innovation! Applicable to lots more than mobile phones I expect.
