Nu, nu vizionati un articol despre un produs stiintifico-fantastic ci despre un produs al unor cercetatori ai unei universitati din SUA care au dezvoltat un material termoelectric pe care il folosesc pentru a incarca terminale mobile. Cercetatorii universitatii Wake Forest din SUA au reusit sa produca acest nou tip de material termoelectic si desi tehnologia in sine nu este noua, produsul lor este extrem de simplu de fabricat. Power Felt transforma caldurea eliminata de corpul nostru in energie electrica si materialul care face acest lucru costa doar cativa dolari.
We waste a lot of energy in the form of heat. For example, recapturing a car’s energy waste could help improve fuel mileage and power the radio, air conditioning or navigation system,” Hewitt says. “Generally thermoelectrics are an underdeveloped technology for harvesting energy, yet there is so much opportunity…Literally, just by sitting on your phone, Power Felt could provide relief during power outages or accidents. Imagine it in an emergency kit, wrapped around a flashlight, powering a weather radio, charging a prepaid cell phone,” says David Carroll, director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials and head of the team leading this research. “Literally, just by sitting on your phone, Power Felt could provide relief during power outages or accidents.
Desigur ca sistemul necesita implementarea in terminale mobile a unei carcase care sa preia curentul electric din materialul hainelor noastre insa cercetatorii sustin ca pretul dezvoltarii tehnologiei este extrem de mic. Avem din nou tehnologii interesante care ne-ar putea usura viata insa din pacate cred ca aceasta va avea soarta celorlalte prezentate de pana acum si va fi data uitarii.
