Recently Nokia has just submitted a patent on a new technology of wireless, self-charging phones. This will enable phones to keep on charging even when it is not connected to a power outlet. The way it works is that they use these “piezoelectric elements,” which will allow the device to draw power from its surrounding environments to keep your phone powered up. Since there are those wireless chargers popping up everywhere now, this idea doesn’t seem so crazy anymore but actually very realistic. The way Nokia explained how this new technology will work is that Nokia will have to

create a heavier phone because of the new components they have to work with. The radio transmitter circuit and battery, and a sturdier frame will be needed in order for this to even work. Inside the phone is a whole different story, the frame will allow the circuit and the battery to slide along it, both vertically and horizontally. The reason it will need to move is because there are strips of piezoelectric crystals that sit at the end of each of the rails so that when the piezoelectric crystals are compressed they generate a current. So just by carrying your phone, any movement of the phone will generate power constantly and charge a built in capacitor, so that your phone will re-charge itself while you put it through everyday use. So I guess charging cables will soon be phased out as soon as this hits the mainstream market.
