What do you do when your out in the middle of nowhere without an electrical hookup in sight? Well, if you’re lucky enough to have some decent sunlight, and a solar-powered charger, then the answer is obvious. But, if solar-powered juice-packs aren’t your style, M2E could have just the thing to fit your needs.
M2E announced their motion-powered battery charger last year. With magnets and coils in tow, M2E says that their motion-powered battery charger generates
enough juice over 6 hours of cumulative human-motion to add 30 to 60 minutes of extra talk time on a mobile phone. And, a standard wall-plug allows you to use an electrical hookup to juice-up your portable device - you know, for those times when 6 hours of cumulative motion just sounds like too much for your lazy behind to deal with.
The company has plans to integrate its motion-powered technology in hybrid and electric vehicles - converting the jarring bumps on the road in to extended drive-time. For now, M2E is aiming to have their portable charger on market next year. We can’t wait.
