The Future of Re-Charging

The future of cell phone recharging may be a future without cords.

Nokia, is in the early stages of developing a cell phone that recharges itself by harvesting ambient radio waves from the air, and turning that energy into enough usable power to keep the phone from running out of juice.

The system is designed to pick up all the bits and pieces of the radio waves wasted in the atmosphere to create electrical current.

Harvesting ambient electromagnetic energy will most likely never be able to offer enough electricity to power a house or office, but Nokia is making a big bet that it just might be enough to keep a cell phone alive and kicking.
