 Applications and Advantages
 Other Ways of Charging A Mobile
 Demand for Self Charging Technology in the current arena.
 Conclusion
Self or Wireless Charging is the current trendy method to charge a mobile or
supply electricity to the battery of a mobile without any wire medium(mobile
charger).
This job is accomplished by the microwaves which are present in the upper layer
of Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Hence,microwave signals act as a medium for Self-Charging Mobiles.
The microwave signals involve Wifi,3G and 4G signals.
There is an immediate need of this technology in the current trend as an
individual cannot imagine his life without a mobile ,which plays a very vital
role in his life…
He/She cannot always carry a mobile charger along with them unless they are
involved in a journey or a long travel …
First and foremost…Electricity or electric medium is not available always
,especially in emergency situations…
Therefore,the proposal of wireless or self charging has been made to
overcome all the above discomforts…
Ofcourse,this new technology is and will be more advantageous than the
previous one…
The mobile phone gets charged as long as the user utilizes the services
provided by the mobile networks(GSM,3G,4G and WiFi)
Self or Wireless Charging of a mobile can be done in many ways. Few of them
are:-Charging by the means of Solar power(in the form of solar
batteries,photovoltaic mobile batteries),Charging by the method of
Electromagnetic Induction ,Charging by the means of Micro and Radio
waves(Radiocharging) etc..
The most popular Self or Wireless Charging technique used often is
”RADIOCHARGING” which we be discussing in this section.
A Radio wave once transmitted,propagates in all possible directions until it
reaches an antenna tuned to proper frequency to receive it(Receiver).In this
case,the receiver is the mobile phone.
The microwave signal is transmitted from the transmitter side along with the
message signal using a special kind of antennas called slotted wave guided
antennas(Rectenna) at a frequency of 2.45GHz.
 CONSTRUCTION
The necessary equipment needed for the working of self charging phones
are:-
 Transmitter
 RF Cable
 Sensor
 Rectenna
The Transmitter section consists of two parts:-
 Magnetron
 Slotted wave guided antenna
Magnetron:-The cavity magnetron is a high-powered vacuum tube that
generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a
magnetic field while moving past a series of open metal cavities (cavity
resonators)
Slotted Wave Guided Antenna:-A slotted waveguide is a waveguide that is used as
an antenna in microwave radar applications. Prior to its use in surface search
radar, such systems used a parabolic segment reflector.
RF Cable:-A coaxial RF connector (radio frequency connector) is an electrical
connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range.
The Sensor:-The role of this sensor is:-It checks whether the user is in the network
coverage (or) whether he uses the mobile network services.
 This sensor converts “frequency to voltage”.
 In India,the operating frequency of mobile network is 900MHz or
1800MHz(GSM mobile system communication).
 This sensor acts like a switch to trigger the Rectenna circuit.
 The name of the sensor is:-”LM2907”
Rectenna:- The process of Rectification is done by a device known as Rectenna.
 It is simply the combination of “Rectifier” and “Antenna”.
 It is used to convert microwave power into DC or electric power.
The Operation involved behind the working of this gadget can be summarized
in three steps:-
 The microwave signal is transmitted along with message signal
using the slotted waveguide antenna.
 The sensor searches for the mobile signal with the help of
Rectenna.
 Rectenna receives the transmitted power and converts the
electromagnetic(microwave) energy into electric energy.
 Sensor and Rectenna are the basic addition to the mobile
phones which make the mobiles self charged.These two parts
form the Receiver section.
ADVANTAGES:-
 As mentioned earlier,the usage of portable chargers or chargers
manufactured by different trademark companies is eliminated.
 The phone gets charged as long as you have a conversation with the
caller (or) whenever you utilize the WiFi services.
 There is no risk of electric shocks wile the mobile phone is getting
charged.
 At the same time,you can save electricity.
APPLICATIONS:-
 This technology is first implemented by “NOKIA” brand.It has
launched the self charging scheme in its recent models”NOKIA
LUMIA 1020” and “NOKIA LUMIA 920”.
 Other mobile brands that are implementing this technology are:-
LG(Nexus 4,Nexus 5),Samsung(Galaxy S4),Asus(Nexus 7),Sony Xperia
etc.
There are many alternatives of charging a mobile(Case Studies):-
 Using Winds To Create Power for Mobile-Wind Farms are an excellent
alternate source of power, which is gaining traction all over the world. But can
winds be used to charge a mobile phone? Tjeerd Veenhoven,A renowned
scientist from The Netherlands had created iFan, which uses wind power to
charge up an iPhone. Using the computer fan which is found in every desktop
and laptop, he has designed a system wherein iPhone can be charged within 5
hours.
 Cook Food And Charge Your Mobile-This method would be a sure shot hit
among Indian ladies when it is finally launched: Pan Charger. A Japanese
innovation firm has created a pan charger which can use heat to produce
enough energy to charge a phone. The Pan Charger, as the name coined by
their CEO, is made up of base which contains strips of ceramic thermoelectric
material. The temperature differentials and the 100 degree C water inside the
pan allow the device to create power, which can be extracted using a USB
device. Any device which can operate on 2W/400mA can be charged on this
pan. In fact, it is estimated that an iPhone can be charged within 5 hours!
 Charge your phone by SHOUTING at it-If we make a comparison between
sound and power,then acoording to the analysis:-A 100dB sound would
generate 50 millivolts of power.This 100dB sound includes noise of traffic ,jet
plane etc..A normal phone requires 5 to 10 volts of power to get charged.
Scientists from Korea are conducting a research:- They have placed two
electrodes which are connected by minute nano-strands of zinc oxide. When a
human being shouts, then the vibrations caused by the sound are absorbed by
these nano-strands which produces energy. In fact, other background noises
such as traffic noise etc can also be used to generate this energy. Research is
still on, but it ‘sounds’ very interesting!
Soft-Drink-Powered Phone-Doctors all over the world fume over carbonated
drinks which are full of sugar and fat. But a Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has
come up with a tremendous idea to charge a mobile phone (using Bio-batteries)
with Soft-drinks. Thereby, device was modified to include a chemical board
capable of converting carbohydrates and sugar into energy.The phone user needs
to pour soft drinks in a special cell which transforms the energy released by soda,
sugar and carbons to create electric charge which can easily charge a phone.
Once the charge finishes, only water and oxygen remains, thereby making it
economically sustainable as well!
The foundation of the actual self charging technology is not properly laid in
many parts of the globe.As the technology states:-”capturing some of the radio
waves that the phone transmits when connecting to cell-phone towers and Wi-
Fi routers, converting them to electricity, and feeding that power back to the
phone’s battery”.
 This technology came into limelight at the “Consumer Electronic Show”(CES)
organized at Las Vegas.A Washington based Company “Ossia”showcased its
product at the fair.”COTA” is the central hub that is source for the wireless
transmission.It is cylindrical in shape.
 Cota serves as a central hub, sort of like a wireless router, that pushes out
targeted energy through wavelengths to charge devices without having to
plug them in or place them on a pad.
 This Cota product can power a cota-equipped device within a 30 foot radius
creating a new platform in the wireless technology.
 This follows existing technologies that take advantage of smartphones’ wireless
charging standard, known as Qi. The company Qi Wireless, for example,
produces pads that charge phones when placed on them.
 As this technology is very much expensive and require high skilled technicians
,many of the companies are not showing interest to collaborate with Ossia.
 Beside this,a new technology is completely justifying this self charging
mechanism.The Self Charging “Phone Screens” and “Cases” have also emerged
whose ultimate goal is self charging.
With this self charging smartphone case, your phone will be able to charge itself.
Up on Kickstarted, “Nikola Labs” case (for the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6) will be
able to capture energy wasted by your smartphone, and reuse it, by charging
your device. In a nutshell, your smartphone is consuming a lot of energy while
making a phone call, browsing the web (generally, while connected to cell towers
or WiFi routers). This case captures part of the dissipated energy and sends it
back to the battery. While it will not top off your battery, it will definitely manage
to slow down depletion, adding extra hours to your device’s uptime.
 Wireless Charging Pad For Mobile Phones:-
 Self-Charging Phone Cases:-
Self Charging Phone Screens:-The Cell Phone Screens works by consuming Solar
power and finally charging the battery.These Phone Screens were developed by
“Sun Partner Group”.
 CONCLUSION
Self or Wireless Charging Technology has created a big hope in the mind of a
mobile user.Though it has few demerits,every technical person’s goal should be
using of self charging phone.
In the coming future, we hope that all the smartphone users should turn into a
self charged mobile phone users.
We hope the startup of this technology should be founded in India working
towards this technology and we expect atleast few users to enjoy this technology
because a small number may turn into a huge number which finally creates craze
among the people.(like usage of smartphones)
