Japan develops remote control without batteries

To prepare for the world's future energy crisis, scientists are now working to develop energy-saving products that will find more energy. New equipment as well as inventing active equipment without power supply .

NEC Electronics and Soundpower (Japan) have worked together to develop a very common device today: remote control . The special feature of this product is that it operates without battery, which will be powered in the user's own process .

The remote is equipped with a chip that identifies vibrations and turns them into electricity, meaning that when the user presses the controls, under the impact of the finger presses and the generated impulses, will generate electricity to use. remote. A NEC controller chip will allow the remote to operate in the frequency range from several thousand MHz to tens of GHz, thus controlling most types of electronic devices available on the market.

NEC and Soundpower are demonstrating the battery-free remote for Embedded Technology 2009, held on November 18 in Yokohama, Japan.
