How ofter do you end up changing batteries on your TV remote control unit? Once in 2 years? may be more? Forget about that, coming soon a remote control unit, which will never need a battery change, Yes it works on pressing power. A prototype unit was recently shown over in Japan utilizing technologies from NEC and Soundpower; essentially, the remote turns the small vibrations from button presses into power, which it then uses to beam out signals to the nearby set. If all goes well, the two hope to have battery-less remotes shipping with televisions in just two years
Our friends at Duracell and Energizer may not be really happy after-all
