Laptop Batteries Filled While Typing

Australian scientists find ways to channel the energy we use when typing to provide power for laptops. Thus, the motion carried typing on a laptop will automatically charge the battery energy devices.

It could be possible, using piezoelectricity. This method works the same way as moving the lighter for cigarette or cigar that produces sparks of piezoelectric crystals. Such information is quoted from Mashable, Friday (24/06/2011).

To provide electrical energy for laptop, it takes a sheet made ​​of piezoelectric film that is thinner and developed using nano technology. Layer is very thin films that can cover different parts of the electronic toy and integrated into various types of gadgets.

"The energy generated from piezoelectric method can be integrated into running shoes to download the mobile phone charging. It can also be applied to the laptop to receive energy from the motion of typing," said study co-author, Dr. Madhu Bhaskaran.

He even mentions, Piezoelectric method can also be used to alter blood pressure a source of energy for pacemakers with long battery life.

But this idea is still under development and not yet completely implemented. Scientists are also looking for a way to touch-screen device could get energy from swipe motion carried. Unfortunately, they were not sure when the technology is deployed commercially.
