Imagine a magic iPod player, which was small and compact, that you could take anywhere. Okay they already thought of that and it is available. So lets imagine an iPod that was small, light, you could take anywhere and it never needed power? No battery to recharge and no need to do anything, but enjoy your music and audio books. Imagine that. Magic. Well sort of, but your wish is my command, as I propose we make one, we all can enjoy forever using no external charge needed, no batteries; you got to love it. IPod. Can you see the commercials now? Well this is all possible and I have a secret plan, which will allow you to simply take your iPod, shake it up and then allow the Radio Waves to keep it powered all the time? Yes, it is possible using electromagnetic induction technology to charge a capacitor instead of the system working off a battery or power source. The iPod system would have an LED chip in it allowing this to happen. Currently there are some nifty micro-flashlights being used which you can buy which use a similar technique and are available thanks to the Everlite Flashlight technology research lab. These smaller flashlights work by shaking them for about thirty seconds and shine for about 6 minutes and they shine quite bright since they use a very bright LED light. Here is a link to this home use flashlight: http://demo.physics.uiuc.edu/LectDemo/scripts/demo_descript.idc?DemoID=1138 Now then, I know what you are saying this is too cool right? But you are thinking that the flashlight is way too big to carry around, but that is okay we can miniaturize the system to be the width of about 12-15 business cards stack on top of each other and about double the length. Now you have Magic in the form of Music. You like? Thought you would, think on it. |
