They’ve had this technology for years in watches. Considering that we carry most cellphones on our hip or in a purse, I would think that this would make a lot of sense. I wonder if the a lot of the batteries volume would end up being consumed by the kinetic energy capture module and so the stand by life would be pitiful?

Nice.

[...] Earlier this year we highlighted Idaho startup M2E Power’s push to develop motion-powered electronics for the military. Now M2E is emphasizing the commercial applications for their technology, with a specific goal: revolutionizing cell phone batteries. M2E will announce the development of an external charger later this month that will generate between 300 and 700 percent more energy than current kinetic energy technologies, and may eventually replace cell phone batteries altogether.

Imagine the application to childrens toys. Not only would they never need replacement batteries but you could actually create energy for other uses by exchanging full ones for empty.
Not to mention the use in video games where motion capture systems like the Wii are gaining popularity. With these motion to energy systems they would no longer need batteries or chargers.
Remote controls that don’t need much energy would be excellent as well.

Besides what’s everyones first reaction if the conventional batteries are dying? Shake it of course! Brilliant! !
I can’t wait to buy. Excellent applications.!

Sounds like a perfect application into the Video game workd with all the motion capture devices that run on Batteries or power packs this could at least eliminate that drain.

It is being developed for the DoD. They hope to commercialize it after the government has had their fun, and gives them the all clear.

(Actually a question instead of a comment)
So, based on what you’re showing, using the same rules of movement, etc., would it be feasible to eventually be able to build a power-producing fabric?

Yes it might be good but why not a plugin model for batteries you already have… then you could attach it to various devices and stop it from charging when you dont want it to.
The problem with lithium batteries always charging is that they will loose life over time…one needs to cycle a battery every so often which would be difficult with this in-battery device.

This is awesome, i hope it gets implemented into everyday things quickly. Many times i see things like this and they never catch on. I was thinking a wireless mouse would work well with one of these, charging and replacing batteries is major down fall for them. Keyboard probably wouldn’t work well unless your a violent typer.

I have a bad habit of letting my phone run until it dies, this just made my day ;^)

Nice for hearing aids, PDAs, PSPs, lazer pointers, etc. Just about anything pocketable.
Looking forward to it.

What about shock absorbers on vehicles?

Wow, this is great new technology!

Today’s been a great day. I just found this new thing, and BreakPost.com, a blogging site
that shares 100% adsense income. So, 2 pluses for me.

Yes, mp3 will work very well.

I have a flash light that works on kenetic engergy and it works great. Hope this has the power for a cell….or even better for an iphone.
