For a long time folks had been thinking along the energy that powers our mobile phone, a gadget that is a bare necessity today and is owned by at least a billion people all over the world. And since the phone batteries are expensive, consume valuable resources during the manufacturing process and are not easily disposable – it was high time that someone came up with a viable soultion.
This one looks good, especially for Mother Nature and your health. Daizi Zheng is a designer who has created a phone that runs on Coke. Yep, the most popular and the most criticised drink (for health reasons) in world might soon be running your hand set.
The smart ones questioned that fuel cells running on sugar are really not anything new, so why is it necessary for the cellphone in question to run only on Coca Cola, one could easily use a sugar water solution? To this Zheng explains that the concept involves replacing the traditional battery with a bio battery which generates electricity from carbohydrates and utilizes enzyme as the catalyst.
