M2E Power promises phones that charge when you walk
DVICE Atom Feed —
... in the not too distant future thanks to motion-powered electronics in development by M2E Power. The tech is based on the Faraday principle, "wherein energy is produced from the motion of a magnet passing through a coil." That means a phone with the tech inside would generate energy just by moving around, and M2E claims its system will generate between 300 percent and 700 percent more power than kinetic energy technologies currently available. Sounds pretty great to us.

M2E Power Lets You Charge Gadgets By Walking

... sunlight for hours on end just to work. While there are some people that might benifit from such a device, most of us aren’t outside that much every day. Another alternative approach to recharging gadgets is this M2E Power, which charges batteries using kinetic energy.
The basic idea is to strap this little gizmo to your belt and it will charge up a battery simply by collecting energy from your movements. Unfortunately there is no word on pricing or availability.

Kinetic charger
MAKE Magazine —
... CleanTechnica points us to M2E's kinetically-powered portable charger due to be released next summer.
The kinetic energy system uses the Faraday Principle, which states that the movement of a conductor through a magnetic field produces voltage in the conductor proportional to the speed of movement. In this case, the conductor is a wire coil. The system uses a magnet that moves against the coil every time the charger moves, generating a charge that is captured in a capacitor. A logic circuit takes the charge to the built-in Li-Ion cell, where it is ...
Walk your way to a full battery

... Mobile phone battery life is always on our minds as there is nothing worse than running out of juice at that moment you need to make that important phone call. You can take an extra battery with you (unless you have an iPhone) but you never seems to run out when you have the spare with you. That's the scenario that M2E Power hopes to address with their newly announced technology that converts movement into juice for your phone. Their power solution sounds unique as it converts six hours of normal movement into one hour of talk time for most phones. That ...
Selbstladender Handyakku soll 2010 auf den Markt kommen

... “Wir sind mit unserem Produkt auf groÃes Interesse in der Branche gestoÃen”, meint Rowe. m2epower.jpg Das selbstladende Handy wird allerdings noch einige Zeit lang auf sich warten lassen. Derartige Produkte benötigen einige Jahre an Forschung- und Entwicklungszeit. Laut Rowe soll das fertige Produkt in zwei Jahren auf den Markt kommen. Abseits der vom Menschen erzeugten Bewegungsenergie arbeitet M2E auch daran, Energie aus den Vibrationen eines Fahrzeuges zu gewinnen. (pte) http://www.m2epower.com
