Simon Wilby Readies Solar Powered Cell Phone Battery for Prime Time
by Simon Wilby The Smart Power
Harvesting solar energy for practical use is the hallmark of Simon Wilby’s invention, The Smart One.
The Smart One is an ideal replacement for standard cell phone batteries. Since it is made compact, it is not likely to cause any major modifications to the original design of the phone. Through a plastic solar cell that is affixed to the phone, light energy will be transformed into electric charge, which will then be relayed to the electrical circuitry of the phone.
But, unlike traditional solar panels, this one does not rely entirely on energy emitted by the sun. Simon Wilby indicates that even ambient light, moonlight, and other types of light sources are good enough to boost the battery’s charge. It does not have to be fully exposed to light sources either, thanks to the construction of the cells that permits full circuitry.
This simple yet innovative technology is expected to cover demand for ordinary cell phone chargers after it gets released to mainstream market. Simon Wilby’s creation can potentially revolutionize the way we charge our phone batteries, leading us to a trend where these bulky devices are a thing of the past. Indeed, The Smart One will hit prime time any time soon.
