Check out the Rechargeble Battery of the future

It is called the Organic Radical Battery (ORB) and is based on a type of plastic that exists in a gel state.
The gel allows the battery to be extremely pliant, with a thickness of 300 microns.
ORBs could eventually be embedded into devices such as smart cards, wearable computers and intelligent paper.
Currently the battery, when in card form, can be recharged with a card reader device in 30 seconds. The absence of harmful chemicals typically used in rechargeable batteries also makes it quite environmentally friendly, according to NEC.

I can't wait to see the applications it has, I just hope that the power of the battery doesn't suffer

cool cant wait to see that on the market

Wow, That is going to be sweet. I can not wait for it to come out. Thanks for the info! :thumbs:

I notice they said put them in paper...


We need a new paper of the future. You know, one that doesn't come from trees, or other soon to be exhausted resources.

The paper they are referring to are the flexible electronic sheets which hold information similar to that of newspapers articles, etc. Probably cost you an arm and a leg to begin with, but it is a possible tech

<laughs> Oh. But I vaguely remember electronics talk about computer chips being inserted into everything... including your pets, fingernail clippers, paper, soda cans. Forehead... wrist... along with a big 666. :cheese:

sweet!

Sure, there has been "talk" about lots of stuff... but e-paper is real and not far off. There are already some very expensive e-paper kits, roll-up displays could become mainstream as early as next year, and Seiko Epson plans to be selling electronic newspapers within the next five years. Oh... and, FYI, chips are inserted into pets for identification purposes.

 

[Raziaar]

Yes. I am fully aware of that. Thats why I put it in.

Lol because of that dancing cow I first thought you put it in yourself

 

[Sulkdodds]

Do-it-yourself subdermal tagging. Ew.

Future ftw. I want an MP3 player encoded into the DNA strands of my hair!

I shall then convince (or threaten, whichever works) the scientists to insert 'Banana Phone' into ever strand of DNA of your entire body!

You will then explode out of sheer awesomeness.

My dog has one of those ID chips in his neck. Also able to track him if he ever runs off the silly thing
That's some pretty cool technology too.

I'm looking foward to the day when I have a catheter that turns my urine into usable energy for my robot legs that walk for me.

 

[JNightshade]

The word is catheter. Also, I'm already rockin' the urine-powered robolegs.
