Are Your Ready for a Cow Dung-Powered Mobile Phone?
Filed in archive Mobile Technologies by leo on October 07, 2007
Say hello to team BioVolt, a group of MIT students who applied the concept of biomass or using animal manure to charge mobile phones. This is ideal for rural areas with scarce electricity.

However, the system is far from perfect. It would take at least 6 months to completely charge a mobile phone battery! If there's any consolation, you just need to shell out $2.
I guess the bigger problem is, who will be interested to collect cow dung, wait for 6 months, and put the phone on their ears if they know it's full of sh*t?
Nevertheless, it's a bold and intelligent step. I hope this will trigger further development to make it more functional and acceptable to the general public.
