Scientists have developed a device powered by noise to charge a phone battery, reports Jayne Augoye
Picture something in your mind. You are about to make an urgent phone call, retrieve a phone number or read an urgent text message. But just as you make to reach for your phone, you discover that its battery is down.
As frustrating as this experience may be, you may not always have to fumble to the nearest electric power point – which may not really be there, especially if you are in Nigeria where electricity supply is epileptic. All you have to do is let out a deafening scream which automatically charges your phone battery. The idea sounds funny but it is actually the result of a new invention by a researcher at the Institute of Nanotechnology at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Sang-Woo Kim.
