Apple's new green battery system

Apple is trying to bring out a new system of battery for the future products which will enable the batteries serviceable by the user itself.Apple has given applications for three patents for the construction of the new battery system which is greener than ever.


One of the patents include the structure of the so called 'host machine' which contains the battery charging slots for the entire system.The second application describes how to communicate with other devices by the host machine so that the host machine can monitor the battery conditions and the charge levels using wireless communication.The last one describes about the 'intelligent universal rechargeable batteries'.The batteries comes with pop off end caps so that when the chemicals inside it reaches a level that it can't be recharged in an efficient way, it can be swapped out of it and replace by fresh chemicals.


The new host machine is capable of charging all types of apple batteries whether it is for mobile phone ,mp3 players ipods,Macbooks,desktops,mouse,keyboards,PDAs or any other mobile devices.The new technology describes a magnetic field produced by either the host machineor the mobile device can flip an internal switch within a battery so that the battery provides power only to a matching device.



Apple thinks about the inductive charging which avoids the metal to metal contact over charging.It also provides new secondary power sources to take over the control when the battery is used up or removed from the device.

Gadgets go green at CES

The world recognize the importance of the greenery of our planet and the dangers coming for avoiding that.The best example is that the international Consumer Electronics Show, the world's largest trade show for consumer electronics, starting Monday in Las Vegas, dedicating 3,000 square feet of floor space and companiestouting the energy-saving, earth-friendly attributes of their gadgets.

There will be numerous amount of green gadgets and products which comes to this show which can range from "eco-buttons" that reduce your computer's power consumption, e-lanterns that produce an hour's worth of light if you crank them for a minute, luminous TV screens that use far less energy than standard TVs and even mercury-free batteries that are 94 percent recyclable.


One of the 2,700 exhibitors at the International Consumer Electronics Show will be Japan's Fujitsu Ltd., which will show off a laptop with a plastic case made from corn rather than petroleum products. The company has sold such a model in Japan since 2006, but is now considering taking it to the North American market

Another important company which comes into role here is Z-Power, which has developed a battery technology that it hopes will replace the lithium-ion batteries that power today's laptops and cell phones. Its silver-zinc batteries will show up in laptops from a ''major'' manufacturer in the summer, according to the Camarillo, Calif., company's chief executive, Ross Dueber.

Green peace's assessment of about 50 electronics products found Lenovo Group Ltd's L2440x wide computer monitor, Sharp Corp's LC-52GX5TV, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd 's F268 mobile phone, Nokia's 6210 smartphone and Toshiba Machine Co Ltd's Portege R600 laptop were the greenest in their categories.


Samsung Electronics introduced a flat- screen TV that uses 40 percent less energy because it uses light-emitting diode technology rather than the traditional cathode lamps. LG Electronics Inc devoted part of its CES display to showcasing green products, including a Bluetooth solar car kit and recyclable packaging materials.Toshiba showcased an ion battery designed for bicycle maker Schwinn's electronic bike, which gives up to 30 miles on a single charge.

This year, manufacturers are also touting the energy efficiency of their products to draw consumers who are spending fewer dollars on discretionary products due to the recession.Anyway the gadgets are going to be more greener this year.Even the show itself is changed to green the show this year as changes include working with CarbonFund.org to offset the emissions created by the show, including exhibition space, shuttle buses and 600,000 hotel rooms. 75% of the food containers and utensils used at the Las Vegas Convention Center will be fully biodegradable, attendee literature will be printed on recycled paper, and the number of recycling containers on the floor will be increased.
