Sound Energy Technology Could Replace Cell Phone Battery

Imagine not having to charge your cell phone or carry a cell phone charger everywhere you go. Wouldn’t that make your life a little less stressful? In the next few years, you may not have to imagine it any longer, because Nokia has teamed up with some researchers from Queen Mary University of London to develop an alternative energy technology that can convert sound and vibration into electrical energy. To be more specific, this energy technology uses nanotechnology and zinc oxide to harness the energy of vibration.
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound that has piezoelectric properties, making it great for absorbing mechanical energy and turning it into electrical energy. When combined properly with certain nanomaterials, zinc oxide can be used to tap into the energy that is created from vibration. Some energy enthusiasts like to refer to this energy as “free energy,” zero-point energy, quantum energy, and vacuum energy.
