Chilean professor makes devices that charge phones with earthquakes

So you can post Facebook status "Earthquake, run fast!" in case the phone runs out of battery during an earthquake.

It seems that people always feel how much the battery is not enough, so they study to find batteries with a longer life span and larger capacity, convenient wireless charging methods.

And it seems that this Chilean engineer sees that is not enough, so he creates a device that generates energy through vibrations created by an earthquake. Broadly speaking, this device can generate energy from the vibrations created by wind, rain, or even from our movement.

The device can charge the phone through the vibrations generated by an earthquake.

The creator of this unique device is Professor Luciano Chiang, currently teaching at the Machine and Metallurgy Catholic School. He designed and built a system to turn the vibrations of the Earth's crust into energy and from that energy, he could charge the phone as well as charge other small electronics.

The purpose of this charging system is to allow small electrical devices to run permanently without changing the battery.

This charging system allows small electrical devices to run permanently without changing the battery.

Through a magnet placed on a rack, vibrations will be turned into energy. The device can generate between 5 and 20 watts of electricity. And because it is very small and easy to install, it can be placed on the mountainside or on a small buoy floating in the sea. There, it can power sensors that are located in dangerous places, difficult to access to replace batteries.

'We decided to take advantage of the vibrations created by wind, rain, waves and even the flow of river water or the daily movement of people, to gain useful energy , ' said Chiang. to speak.

The device can generate between 5 and 20 watts of electricity.

And what big vibrations are there and creating more energy than an earthquake? However, Mr. Chiang also added that an earthquake lasts not long, so the amount of energy collected will not be really useful.

Currently, Professor Luciano Chiang is considering reducing the size of this charging device as well as increasing its flexibility - so users can carry it easily. Besides, he also considered commercializing it, turning this charging system into a mass-produced product.
