Every day cell phone news reports a number of new cell phones being unveiled with new capabilities which require more ultra powerful processors where battery life is usually a problem. One main gripe from cell phone end users is battery life. The more powerful the cellular phone, the shorter the battery life. Additionally, as the battery ages, the batter life goes down.
One more problem is if you are outdoors and don't have your cellphone charger or is close to an electrical outlet, your cell phone will perish. If you're able to access an electrical outlet, you have to wait around several minutes (approximately a half hour) to get really good charge. This can certainly be a problem.
Mechanical Energy
There are a few organizations looking at new technologies to make recharging your cellular telephone quickly and much easier. One corporation named InStep NanoPower has designed a low-cost basic high-power energy harvester to change mechanical energy via walking directly into electrical power (up to 20 watts). This power is adequate to extend battery time of any cellphone.
Scientists at Simon Frasier University (SFU) in British Columbia has also designed a wearable gadget that creates energy from walking and promises to change the way we charge portable battery-powered products.
Solar Panel Technology
If you're ever stranded outside in the sun, you'll be able to use solar power to charge your mobile phone. There are devices already on the market for purchase that uses solar power to charge your mobile phone. The solar panels are compact enough to connect to your mobile phone so when you are outside the phone is being recharged. These devices can charge your cell phone, even if it's completely dead. A complete charge using solar power normally takes 6 to 10 hours for most phones. One such company is SolDesign Lab who developed a Solar Pump Charging Station.
Portable Power
There are several portable chargers on the market that you can travel with, incase you are not close to a charging station. One such device is the Turbocell Charger which makes use of AA batteries to recharge your phone's lithium battery around 2 hours of added talk time. These kinds of gadgets should only be used as backups incase you find yourself in a situation where you have no access to an electrical outlet.
Wind Flow Power
Orange, a U. K. based telecommunications firm, in 2007 announced plans to launch the Orange Mobile Wind Charger to recharge portable electronic devices outdoor such as mobile phones.
The Mobile Wind Charger is a mini turbine that attaches to the top of a tent and stores power in a control box that you can plug into your cellphone. The unit is created for use outdoors and usually takes about 24 hours to fully charge the average phone with winds of 12 mph.
