Simon Wilby’s Invention Picks Up Where Most Cell Phone Batteries Failed
is a British-Canadian inventor who was first recognized in 1991 when he came up with a two-way collar that allowed communication between him and his dogs. He has certainly come a long way since his first invention because only after several years, he tapped the potentials of solar energy for use in cellular phones. During the first quarter of 2009, he launched the solar powered version of the lithium battery- The Smart One.
The Smart One picks up where traditional batteries failed. Unlike common batteries that are based on Lithium ion technology, ’s invention draw on the properties of Lithium exon, a greatly improved technology that offers more stability and better memory capacity than its predecessor.
The Smart One relies on natural and artificial light sources for energy, which are collected using plastic solar cells that are hinged on the outer part of the battery door. Unlike traditional silicone cells, plastic solar cells provide users with full circuitry. Thus, even while parts of the solar panel do not have direct contact with the light source, it is still able to draw enough energy to run the cellular phone.
plans to penetrate international market with his innovative invention soon. Meanwhile, discussions and negotiations are being arranged in the hope that telecommunication companies would realize the potential business that may be gained through this product.
