My Samsung S4 takes up to 3-4hours
to complete charging and this could be annoying sometimes, but it’s an
annoyance we’ve all come to accept.
Basically, there is no choice, you
can either wait or kepp moving around with a dead battery.
Years from now, we will all be
laughed at thinking back to our time, because then, there is a possibility that
there will be a charger to charge your phone complete and fully charged for
only 30seconds. A video of the prototype was posted on YouTube, watch it at the
end of the post.
The secret behind that technology
was unveiled by a company called StoreDot which
is
called Nanodot bio-organic nanocrystals. (sounds strange?) this sounds
strange to me too, lets find out what it means bellow.
StoreDot is a company based in
Israeli which recently demonstrated its Nanodot technology at the Microsoft
“Think Next Conference” in Tel Aviv.
He said that at the core of the new
technology was the use of peptides, compounds containing amino acids.
“We are modifying the surface of the
electrodes with bio-organic compounds, peptides, to increase the chemical
reaction to produce extra energy,” he said.
He also added
“It allows us to avoid the most annoying
aspect of our smartphones, of which we are demanding more and more, and to
ensure that we have a charged telephone all day,”
Breaking down this words
scientifically using its terms,: you could be able to fully charge your phone
in 30 seconds by 2016.
There are some things to note about
the Store-Dot technology.
First, this charger is as large as a
laptop charger, which isn’t really pocketable for traveling. I’m sure it’s also
very expensive to make.
However, Its known that StoreDot
will reduce the size and price of the charger over the year, Eventually, the
charger is expected to cost twice as much as an average phone charger (around
$60), which is a lot lesser than what i would pay for something as cool and
useful as this.
This device is expected to hit
market in late 2016, so we’re still a couple years away. However, in a mobile
world that has constantly struggled with battery life innovations, this could
be an important turning point.
