Will New Battery-less Cellphones Take Back Power from Energy Corporations - Just like Cryptocurrencies do with Banks?
New technology announced by Washington University allows cellphones to be operated without a battery! The system uses a novel method of 'harvesting' power from ambient sound and light vibrations picked up by the phone's speaker system. The device connects to a base station that then makes the call using existing Internet Telephony systems such as Skype.
This appears to be one of the first of the next generation of devices that are released from reliance on electrical grid infrastructure - meaning they can be much lighter/smaller and potentially pose less of a health risk too.
The first prototype is demonstrated in the video below:
A new wave of social evolution?
Just as cryptocurrencies wrestle power away from centralised banking groups and services like Steemit do the same for social networks - This new technology begins a process of doing similar for electrical devices as we break from from archaic, controlled electricity grids.
This new technology is a few steps away from the wireless and limitless energy that was promised by Nikola Tesla over 100 years ago - before he was bought out and silenced by some of the same families who continue to warp 'science' and hold humanity back. However, all creativity begins with imagination and once our collective imagination opens to the reality of using the limitless and free ocean of vibrational energy of which we are all a part - it is only a matter of time before we make a shift towards ever increasing ingenuity that makes ever more use of our birth right of free energy. :)
Wishing you well, Ura
Thats crazy, wish they can get that into phones within 10 years :)
I think it will be available quicker than that - we are experiencing a rapid acceleration in many ways now.
I am so over my phone right now, it's over 2 yrs old but the battery is shit now. It's about time we get access to wireless energy. There are patents on it people look it up!
Yes, wireless energy should clearly have been the norm by now!
Erm, doesn't it need a 'base station'?!
existing cellphone technology uses the many cellphone towers that dot and pollute our landscape. it would not be a big deal, i imagine, to have the new phones using these existing (or similar) towers. I actually see no reason why we couldn't combine wind turbines and solar panels with cellphone towers, but i've never seen that yet.
Well, if the cars will soon go without a battery - then the phones for sure! :)
sourc-ery ;)
hahahahahhaaha @ura-soul It true,but let cross our fingers across and watch. nothing us impossible, Land lines can testify what cell phone did to them.
That is very cool new technology. I've got my shower running on solar. I need golf cart batteries to upgrade my system. Kinda pricey.
the tesla batteries might be a good option if you can get a good price for them - i don't know the prices where you though.

If this is true... and if this technology can scale then this is AWESOME!
Resteemed immediatly after reading! :D
And here is another interesting article about it on wired:

So this technology has still to get waaay more efficient!
vibration is the key to everything!
It doesn't have a 5 inch LED screen to watch youtube 😉
you just have to shout loudly to get more electricity :)
Or stand in middle of a riot 😂
perfect! just hang out in the general shareholder meeting of major electricity companies :)
