Quartz for mobile recharging
|
|
|
| hi
Can a quartz crystal be used to recharge mobile phone.I mean it would
be cheap and the mobile phone has never to run out of battery.Has
anybody done work on this before or any white paper on this.
Comments are welcome.Thnks in advance.

Why would quartz crystal be any use in recharging a phone?
(I'm asking this just in case you are a physics genius that's spotted
some property of quartz that the rest of the world has so far not seen).

No. You need low voltage, fairly high current to charge a mobile
battery. A piezo crystal (not quartz) would give very high voltage,
very low current.
You can get hand-cranked battery chargers, but they are more trouble
than they are worth.

| yeah acutally one of my acquinttance is indeed one . i dont know how it
works but he told hat we was working on this project for college
competitoin.i was jus curious as to if his idea is feasible or not so i
posted it and you tell me it takes some geniousity to pursue such
project.
Well that is strange.I guess he wuld soon be holding meeting with nokia
guys.

Oh I see. Well, like I said, it's possible he/she may have discovered a
property of quartz that the rest of physics as has missed. But unless
your mate is both a genius AND a multi-millionaire, and/or heavily
funded to do research on the molecular (or even sub-atomic?) properties
of quartz, I'd give that a very, very, tiny cat's chance in flaming hell
since the known properties of quartz do exactly the opposite of what
your mate proposes.
But you never know ... so here's wishing your friend the best of British
luck!

Never trust Northern Europeans. They smile too much and have funny names...
