Kinetic Laptops along with Specs

Endless possibilities can be done with technology. We can create things that could make our work easier and even use our own motion to command the characters we play. And speaking of which, a group of Australian scientists have recently unveiled a possible breakthrough that could allow us to power our laptops through typing.



The technology behind kinetic laptops involve the concept of ‘everlasting batteries’. But what’s even more interesting with this is the fact that it will allow individuals to power their notebooks by converting kinetic energy from their fingers.

Reportedly, the technology involves the use of piezoelectric crystals that has been quantified into smaller particles through nanotechnology. Through this, the scientists have managed to form a very thin sheet of piezoelectric material which can be integrated into the laptop as well as on other portable gadgets and devices.

On the other hand, it was also stated that this technology can be further extended to other things we normally use, like our running shoes. The latter can utilize same energy conversion in order to use kinetic energy (from running) to charge say our mobile phones. Nokia has the same goal for its Kinetic concept phone.

Thus, it is possible that in the near future a wide-range of devices may not need any battery packs or external chargers.
