Battery Recharging Self-dried


In the old days many people will take up the battery if it is starting to weaken or wear out for can be used again. However, the results may only be temporary and short. 


Season the battery under the blazing sun the effect is temporary because it only began to dry up the moist carbon.
However, in the future, drying in the sun may indeed be a way to recharge the battery. A team of scientists make a prototype of its battery can be recharged by sunlight. Innovator behind this technology, Yung-Hsaing Chang, Ming-Shien Lin, and Chang-Ting Lu, calling them the concept of "Light Catcher". Currently they are ready with the prototype. 


Battery "Light Catcher" is a battery built fotoelektronik antireflektif of solar cells that absorb energy from sunlight. Tues protected by wrapping transparent for sunlight to enter. "So if the power runs out, leave it in the sun is beautiful," explains in an article at Yanko Design. 


Prototype batteries available in AA and AAA sizes. Both had to be used in most electronic devices. These batteries can also provide electrical power to the electronic device via a 3.5 mm plug. 


Making these batteries prove that solar power technology does not have to use such a large panel mounted on the roofs of houses or industrial sites. More advanced technology now makes solar power technology can be scaled and used in various household products. 


This battery was actually not the first small products that use solar power. Last year, Sanyo received the IF Design award in CeBIT technology conference because it succeeded in developing the lights and solar powered USB charger. Light Catcher is also is one of the entries in the IF Design award. 


Nevertheless, small-sized solar-powered products are still unable to meet the needs of mobile devices hungry for energy, such as laptops and smart phones. However, recent technological innovations is quite promising. by:kompas(National Geographic Indonesia / Alex Pangestu)
