Just A Thought

I always wondered why someone could not come with a design for cell phone batteries that would last for , say 1 week before it needs to be recharged. Wouldn't that be wonderful? It could also trigger a chain reaction leading to greater inventions!

For example, we already have solar cells that convert the sun's rays into energy that can be utilised for lighting and heating of water in the house. What if we had such small batteries that could last for more than a week. Some brilliant or crazy person could come up with a device that could magnify this source of power so that it could be used to move pistons! If that could be done we would be driving cars using small batteries that would need recharging about once a week. There would be no pollution of the atmosphere. The noise pollution would also drop. Best of all, this invention would break the oil cartel that is controlling the world economy and giving so much power to a few families in the middle-east.

Once everyone is used to moving around in a noisless, pollution free environment, another brilliant or crazy person might come up with the idea of using the gravitational force around us. A vehicle that uses gravity to propel itself will be the beginning of the space age. Not rocket fired, fuel guzzling monsters that we are familiar with. We must have a design that uses the natural environment around us without destroying or depleting it. This is the real space age. The moon has its own gravitational force around it. A vehicle that can use such natural forces can also operate over there.

That day will come, but when? I wish it would happen within my lifetime. Imagine the possibilities. It could go places even a helicopter cannot reach. There would be no need to cut down trees to build highways! We can only hope and wait.
