Researchers invent the first mobile phone without battery 📱
#OpChangeTheWorld2 🌍 Mobile phone without battery 📱
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed the first phone capable of receiving and making calls without battery, reveals the blog New Technologies.
The device is presented as a simple printed circuit board, on which scientists have added commercially available components. Instead of being converted to data using an analog converter, the voice is transformed into a radio signal, much like a walkie-talkie, which makes it much less energy intensive.
The only disadvantage is that the user must press a button to toggle between the conversation and listening modes. The researchers, partly funded by Google, were also able to converse on Skype. For now, this prototype requires a "base station" to make and receive calls. But tomorrow, they hope to integrate it into a standard mobile network.
Damn!
