Nokia have released details of a prototype phone which uses ambient energy harvesting as a means to charge the internal battery. Ambient energy is emitted by mobile phone signals and towers, radio signals and many other forms of communication devises which use wireless technology. This energy is gathered by the phone and turned into electricity to charge the battery. In order t achieve the ability to permanently charge the battery the phone must gather 50mw of energy from the various signals available. Ambient energy is nothing new and has been available for many years; a prime example of this would be the crystal radio available via our online shop for £19.99.  If Nokia succeed in the creation of this phone which achieves the ability to self charge itself the world could see a new breed of mobile which would never need an external power supply saving energy and CO2 the world over.
