Plug in plant soil to generate electricity? You've never seen such a device

According to science news reports, you may have used solar power plants for action, but the use of mobile phone charging technology you have not seen! The Chilean team developed a USB E-Kaia charging device, as long as you find healthy plants or plants, the charging device is inserted into the soil, can use biological circuits (biocircuit) technology for your mobile phone or tablet computer.

The "charging device E-Kaia" was developed by 3 engineers in Chile, the circuit board (biocircuit board) biological put into the pot, absorb the residual energy in the process of photosynthesis and converted into electricity, can not damage the plants under the condition of using biological technology will carry out from the power circuit the soil, the output voltage is 5V, current of 600mA (Fu Te) (MA).

R & D team said that the charging device can be filled within 1.5 hours for smart phones, in addition, including LED lights, fans, audio and other low-power products can also be used to charge USB connector.

However, the team's ambition is not limited to this, they also hope that the future can apply this technique to a broader range of uses, such as let the park street can "self-sufficiency", also is the use of biological technology to loop plants within the park can provide the lamp electricity, even by this technology to bring power to remote areas in chile.

"E- Kaia" charging technology is currently applying for a patent. The technology team in 2013 to win the "Jump Chile" contest, won the prize of about $8266, then get the Chilean government awarded the "Avonni National Award of Innovation" in 2014, the economic development of the Chilean economy department (CORFO) funding, the team hopes to make the products available in this year.
