Fuel your phone with Coca Cola

That is correct… With Coca Cola. Daizi Xheng a chinese developer, found a way of replacing the lithium-ion batteries we use in our phones for a more efficient and environmental friendly solution. He proposes a bio-battery that lasts longer than regular batteries using any sugary solution as a source of fuel, for example: Coca Cola.
There are mixed opinions about this approach, since is a prototype there are no long term results to look at in terms of reliability and sustainability. His modified Nokia phone is the first prototype of its kind and only time will tell us how good of an idea this will be.
In my opinion, this should not be part of the device in itself, but an external source of energy. Since Smartphones are energy sucking devices, other alternatives for power should be explored. Here some ideas:
- Solar energy
- Bio energy
- Kinetic energy
