Tech News - Forget the Googles Nexus One, We Want the Coke-Powered Phone

From Could sugary sodas power your next phone? Chinese designer Daizi Zheng thinks so. He’s created a conceptual model of a phone, for Nokia, that would run on bio battery, using enzymes to generate electricity from carbohydrates.

Essentially Zheng’s conceptual phone would only need a sugary soda to operate.
We don’t know about you, but we’re totally fascinated by the idea and intrigued by the notion of getting refills for our phones in the future. No word from fast food chains on whether or not a soda phone refill will cost extra.

Dezeen has the scoop on the story and shares Zheng’s idea and photos. In Zheng’s own words:

“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.”
