Wee've all seen kinetic energy-charged wristwatches and batteries. If the patent for this handy gadget is approved though, it won't be long until wee see a kinetic phone as well.
How will it work? Well, if it works just like the kinetic watch and battery, all you'll ever need to do in an emergency (assuming the kinetic power thing is only for secondary power) is shake your mobile. It's an idea, maybe better than what the other manufacturers are developing - like longer battery life and efficiency. Oh and the patent is not limited to cellphones, it can also be applied to TV remotes and PDAs
Plus with what wee see in the illustration above, wee can't help thinking about the wind up radio. Anyway, wee'll keep you posted for updates regarding this one.
