The Japanese have created a remote control without batteries!

Undoubtedly, the remote control - a useful thing. But there's one feature of these devices, which is annoying. Their batteries sit in the most inopportune moment. Of course, you can run to the shop and buy a couple of batteries, but really this is the way of the Samurai?

Of course not. Therefore, the Japanese and came up with a remote control, which does not need batteries. Developed this device engineers and NEC Soundpower.

The secret of this wonder-console is a special generator. It produces the right amount of energy through the conversion of vibrations arising in the time of pressing the button.

The developers emphasize that the energy one click is enough to perform most functions. For example, on and off the TV, adjust the volume and switch between channels.

Work on this control has not yet been completed, and submitted the sample sizes are so large. But the NEC and Soundpower hope that commercial samples of such devices will appear in 2011.
