Chinese designer Daizi Zheng has created a conceptual mobile phone for Finnish brand Nokia that could be powered by sugary drinks.



Zheng proposes that the phone could run on a battery that uses enzymes to generate electricity from carbohydrates.

Eco-friendly phone for Nokia


This is a client project for designing an eco friendly phone for Nokia. Through out my research, I found that phone battery as a power source, it is expensive, consuming valuable resources on manufacturing, presenting a disposal problem and harmful to the environment.





The concept is using bio battery to replace the traditional battery to create a pollution free environment.



Bio battery is an ecologically friendly energy generates electricity from carbohydrates (currently sugar) and utilizes enzymes as the catalyst.



By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out.



Bio battery has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional lithium batteries and it could be fully biodegradable.



Meanwhile, it brings a whole new perception to batteries and afternoon tea.


英國華裔女孩發明“可樂手機”利用可樂來發電
改寫自科學網
據加拿大《明報》報導,可樂含有咖啡因令人醒神,原來還可以做手機能源。在英國,中國女設計師鄭黛子(譯音,Daizi Zheng)用了一部諾基亞(Nokia)手機,設計出一款以可樂來發電的概念手機,不像傳統電池“報廢”後會產生潛在污染,這款汽水手機唯一製造的廢物是水和氧氣,既經濟又環保,相信可在5年內推出市面發售。
 
據鄭黛子說,除了可樂外,只要含糖份的汽水都可以作為能源。手機設計的核心是一片生物電池,利用酵素把碳水化合物轉為電力。用戶只須把可樂倒進手機,便可從其透明外殼,看到可樂轉化為水和氧氣的過程。
 
鄭黛子表示,這款生物電池每補充能源一次,可持續使用時間較傳統鋰電池長3至4倍,有關科技亦正不斷改進。據報導,日本有公司去年已推出Nopopo液體電池,便是利用水、可樂、啤酒甚至尿液來發電。
 
24歲的鄭黛子生於中國,16歲到英國倫敦攻讀藝術設計,憑無限創意,成為英國著名產品設計師。據她在網站上的自我介紹,她對日常生活用品設計最感興趣,喜歡給人新的體驗和對身邊的事物反思。
 
除可樂手機外,她為人津津樂道的創作還包括,把味道稍遜的健康食品“偽裝”成受歡迎的垃圾食物,例如把西洋芹切條扮成炸薯條,把紅蘿蔔削成香煙大小,再以煙盒包裝等。她另一個令線民拍案叫絕的作品,是一個半圓形的手袋,把手袋放在腹前再穿上外衣,可幫助少女偽裝成大肚孕婦,免賊人搶手袋。
