Thermal-underwear-powered MotoQ?
With the Motorola Q’s battery sucking nature, it’s interesting that the good folks over at textually.org are reporting that researchers at UC Berkeley have developed technology that could eventually be weaved into clothing to power cell phones:
“… the temperatures generated by body heat could produce enough electricity to charge the batteries in small technology. Ideally, this finding could lead to special clothing and other wearable materials that produce electrical current for batteries in cell phones and handheld computers, or power the devices themselves.”
TG Daily goes further, by stating:
“… personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.”
Just think… a way to use our Motorola Q’s out in the world without suffering from battery problems. <sigh!> We can hope for that day.
