Concept Phone Fabricated from Copper Charges in Pockets Using a Thermogenerator [Concepts]

What would you sacrifice for a phone that charges by inducting heat from your body? An OS? A brand-name you’ll be pleased with? A touchscreen? That’s the question I pose to you, after spotting this idea Nokia phone.

It’s been dreamed up by English designer Patrick Hyland, who envisions the phone to be produced from copper and capable of drawing heat from your body (or something like an overheating laptop), converting it to energy. That’s via a thermogenerator that’s been placed within the copper E-Cu phone (” E” for environment, and ” Cu” for copper, naturally).

I’m not so sure the increasing prices (and demand) for copper will ever make this phone a reality, but within the meantime it’s nice to work out someone use the Nokia name for good. Unlike, err, Nokia . [ Dezeen via Recombu ]
