Finnish company Nokia, which is one of the leading manufacturers of electronic devices on the market, has applied for the patent of invention, which allows the battery of electronic equipment to stay charged for a while. So far, specialists have completed a conceptual option for a mobile phone, but later offered technology can be used to recharge the cameras, laptops and other gadgets.

In the framework of the invention is the idea of using natural vibrations in order to recharge electronic devices. The battery and cell phone housings are mounted with rigid frame, and between them  a number of piezoelectric elements are placed. During the natural vibrations (i.e. when the owner of the phone goes to transport, is walking or simply dials the subscriber’s number) the piezoelectric elements on the surface are creating a charge of electricity, which is being sent to the battery charge. However, the inventors point out that at this stage of development is impossible to completely abandon the battery charging loss, but their innovative is able to prolong the interval of autonomous operation of the electronic device.

When a new technology will find its practical application, whether the invention will be in demand, is not clear. The idea of creating such devices is not new. At one time, there were beetle- lanterns with built-in dynamo machines.

What fate awaits innovation from Nokia – time will tell.

While Samsung is focusing on solar energy, the invention of the Finnish giant Nokia is called “The Collector piezoelectric kinetic energy”. At the heart of the development is the principle of the conclusion of mobile phone elements to a separate frame, insulated from the second frame of the piezoelectric elements.

Generated by the motion of the phone kinetic energy is converted into electricity through the piezoelectric effect, capable of  ”partially recharge the battery of the device”. Nokia offers to place relatively heavy elements such as radio chips and the battery itself in the frame, which moves on two runners. At the ends of the latter are piezoelectric, upon application of pressure to which the portion of electricity is produced and accumulates in the condenser.

The idea is very simple and is reminiscent of that which is implemented in a wristwatch activated with swinging gait. The battery can be recharged, for example, in the case of turning the phone to different directions or even his regular rotation if it is necessary for it to be placed in landscape or portrait orientation of the screen in the touch devices.
