Protect your mobile, when it slips from hand from this device

-

Mobiles have become a necessity for everyone throughout the world. The ability to keep in touch with family, business associates, and access to email are only a few of the reasons for the increasing importance of mobiles. Today's technically advanced mobiles are capable of not only receiving and placing phone calls, but storing data, taking pictures, and can even be used as walkie talkies. Modern mobiles are capable of internet access, sending and receiving photos and files, and some mobiles are equipped with GPS technology, allowing for use in most locations around the world and allowing the mobile to be found or the user located in the event of loss or emergency.

Mobiles have completely intruded in our lives and are now very close to our hearts. The mobiles phones have become crucial part of our life. When such mobile slips from our hand and breaks, we feel very sad…But now, no need to worry… Kudos!! for the new invention of Mobile Air Bag….

Philip Frenzel, a 25-year-old student from Aalen University in Germany, came up with the idea after breaking his smartphone by throwing his jacket over a bannister. The impact had caused the electronics inside the handset to break. Frenzel then started looking for developing a system to prevent dropped phones from breaking. He wanted a case that is smaller and advanced instead of being big and bulky. Following four years of tinkering, he invented a case that comes with sensors that can detect when the phone is in free-fall.

The sensors present in the 'mobile airbag' case prompts the release of four springs that cause the phone to bounce when it hits the ground, giving higher chances of avoiding scrapes and cracks. The dampers in the case are pushed into an 'airbag' position with metal springs, and they essentially help in absorbing the impact of the fall. Once deployed, the dampers can be pushed back into the case, meaning you can use it again.

The 'mobile airbag' is currently not available for purchase yet. However, Frenzel has acquired a patent and also received an award from the German Society of Mechatronics for his invention. Frenzel is reportedly planning to commercialize the case starting with a Kick starter crowd funding campaign. Frenzel also won the Mechatronics Prize 2018 for his work, awarded by German Society for Mechatronics.

Electricity from footsteps: Piezoelectric Floors

Have you ever thought of generating electricity from footsteps, an untapped natural resource? Interested? Here are the details of one such clean energy source…..   The piezoelectric effect was discovered in 1880 by two French physicists, brothers Pierre and Paul-Jacques Curie, in crystals of quartz, tourmaline and Rochelle salt (potassium sodium tartrate). They took the name from the Greek work piezein, which means "to press" . Piezoelectricity is the ability of certain materials (piezoelectric materials) to produce a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress. Piezoelectricity comes under the concept of ‘Energy Scavenging’. Energy scavenging is defined as capturing minute amounts of energy from one or more of the surrounding energy sources, accumulating them and storing them for later use. In some ways Piezoelectricity is better than solar or wind power because these technologies depend on the weather and are not always reliable. The average person takes 150...
