FollowAn electrical device which directly converts the light energy into electricity through the photovoltaic effect is known as a solar cell or photovoltaic cell. Assemblies of cells known as solar panels are used for making solar modules which capture the solar energy from the sunlight and then generate the solar power. This is an example of solar energy.
- Aeolus phone concept recharges with solar energy
Aeolussolar powered concept phone
Cyrene Quiamco has created the Aeolus Phone which can be charged at any place and time. An inbuilt power generating fan captures even the slightest of breeze and produces energy and when there is lack of wind, the on board solar panels helps to recharge. The phone comes in one simple color with a LCD screen, which is energy efficient and can be built from renewable materials. It is accompanied by a special tripod with which it can be attached to a cycle or on a car’s window in order to enable the fan to generate more energy.
