If you take a survey from smartphone users these
days, battery life of the phone tops their concern list. Even though the
battery department hasn’t advanced in a decade, smartphone makers are coming up
with technologies including fast charging and battery efficient chipsets to
overcome the problem.
On an average, most smartphones last 1-2 days before
the battery is completely depleted. While everyone is waiting for the perfect
replacement to come out to market, there is this gadget to juice up your
smartphone, speakers and other devices just by holding a ball that generates
clean electricity from the palm of your own hands.
Named as “HandEnergy”, this Kickstarter project is
described as pocket electricity generator similar to the power bank. In terms
of physical overview, it looks like a cricket ball and produces electricity via
magnetic rotor through motion generation, when it is rotated in your hand.
When the motion is generated, the magnetic rotor
transmits mechanical power to the stator and produce an electric current,
charging the built-in batteries and that current is passed through USB to your
device.
This HandEnergy is now available for pre-order at US$ 79 on Indiegogo and is expected to ship in July.
