Brother Unveils AA Batteries That Recharge From Shaking
Brother batteries
There are a lot of ways to charge a regular battery, however, sometimes it is not easy finding the Charging source. Brother technologies has found a great way to recharge batteries without being hooked up to another power source. It is indeed a brilliant concept and it makes use of vibrations. Heres more on these Vibration-Powered Generating Batteries.
Essentially the technology inside...
BeBionic and its myo-electric bionic hand
BeBionic
There was a time when we saw James Cameron’s Terminators in movies and imagined what a real Terminator could do in life. Now there is some realism in the real world. BeBionic’s myo-electric, very realistic bionic hand, is supposedly impressive. The finished product was just unveiled at ISPO World Congress in Leipzig Germany, and it is more than what meets the eyes.

HMI technologies in SCADA Systems!!
scada systems
Well firstly what are SCADA systems?
SCADA stands for supervisory control and data acquisition. It generally refers to an industrial control system: a computer system monitoring and controlling a process. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility-based as described below:
Industrial processes include those of manufacturing, production, power generation, fabrication,...
Rust sensor will save lives
rust-detector
Its always amazing to see devices that saves lives and even better to know that they can run forever without a source of power. This tiny device made by experts at the Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg, Germany, might have just stumbled upon a potential lifesaver in the form of an early-warning system for rust. These sensor-transponders...
Nuclear Battery

For all those who work several hours in front of their laptops, or young guns glued to their cell phone and suddenly you realize there is not enough charge left in the device and irritatingly plug the charger to the device, putting an end to all the continuity with work, or your travelling and want to conserve energy of your device using it at real necessity, here...
New “Liquid Magnet” Solder is Lead Free
Lead Free Solder
Lead is dangerous, but a really useful product when it comes to Soldering. The heavy metal is a big source of pollution in soil and ground water tables due to electronics being tossed in landfills, and is a toxic substance in e-waste dumps. But there is hope, Yale researchers have come up with a new soldering material that could eliminate lead in this area of electronics as well, using...
Wireless Battery charging
I remember having seen old generation watches, that powered themselves based on movement of your hand. Today, these old technologies are getting back into demand for good. Take for example this concept from designers Song Teaho and Hyejin Lee. They figured out a way to charge cellphone batteries with a twirl.
Twirl battery power
It is a simple principle where you twirl things around your fingers and...
Wireless Power!

Panasonic’s Future Lithium Ion Batteries
Panasonic Safer Lithium Batteries
Panasonic’s new Lithium Ion batteries will be long lasting and safer than existing Lithium batteries.
No longer a secret, Panasonic is said to have used nickel instead of carbon for the positive terminal in each cell. The previous record at Panasonic for type cells were 2.9 amp hours, and a quick search shows that most are in the 2.2 amp range. Panasonic claims...
Bluetooth 4.0
bluetooth 4.0
Bluetooth 4.0 has been officially certified for release. The Bluetooth 3.0 technology was all about high energy with the introduction of WiFi transfer, Bluetooth 4.0 takes things down a notch by certifying single-mode low energy devices in addition to dual-mode devices that incorporate both the low energy side of the spec plus either 2.1+EDR or 3.0. What this means is that the technology...
