Nano Tech To Extend Mobile Battery Run Longer After Charging
A dedicated team of Electrical Engineers from the Illinois University has discovered a method by which mobiles and laptops could operate nonstop 100 times longer between charges. The solution was arrived at by altering the way the digital memory of the device works.
Present generation mobile phone memories contain thin metal wires. Electricity is conducted through them to retrieve the data. The electrical engineers were of the opinion that if the size of the components used to store and retrieve the information could be minimized; the amount of electricity passing through would also diminish. So they came up with the idea of using carbon nano-tubes – tiny tubes that were 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – instead.
The energy consumption is related with the volume of the memory bit. Use of nano-scale contacts, leads to much lower power consumption. It would be wonderful to have devices whose batteries can last for weeks or months. The energy efficiency would be relatively high and power requirements correspondingly very low that the power requirement could be met simply by tapping heat energy, kinetic energy or solar energy in the days to come.
