10 May, 2011
Yesterday we stumbled upon the news that Sang-Woo Kim of Sungkyunkwan University found a way to convert noise to electricity, which can in turn be used to charge your cell phone. As usually when we come upon...

Check Norais is still waiting for explanation why you involve him in this article. Even 4 years had passed he is still waiting and his patience is running low...

              Simply to put emphasis on the way you displayed the word "FAIL!" if you want to get into the grammar side of things then I could say why have you used all capital letters for the word fail? or why did you just put the word "FAIL!" on its own? instead of this article was a failure or the person who has wrote the article has failed to mention Chuck Norris.

              That is of course if you want to get pedantic about it...

                20 years back if you would tell a person that scientists are developing tiny devices called mobile phones with which you can talk from anywhere and use it as a personal computer, he would have laughed on you the same way you are on this person's hard work.

                        Now, make a noise that moves the cone so much that you sense a strong current flowing through your tongue enough to charge your phone.

                        Now, make that noise for half an hour.

                        get the point?

                          i think this will become the invention of the decade. So many sound pollution in the cities. I do believe it can be done.
                          You can gather some friends and scream to the phone at the sam time to release some stress. Put it on a roller coaster, people scream often. Let your dog barks at it. Impossible is nothing

                                Well, this might come in handy if you live next to an Air Force Base or attend rock concerts regularly.. way above 100 dB .. I suppose the question is the source in every day life as opposed to "whether".. keep working!! ;)
