You move around a lot, and so does your mobile phone. If you live in an urban centre, like Vancouver, you probably use a bus, or maybe even a Skytrain to get where you need to go. But what do all these things have in common? By using power created when a bus stops, we could generate wireless electricity, charging all the cell phones within that bus. This would get rid of the need to charge your phone at home, and stop cell users from leaving their chargers plugged into the wall and wasting electricity when not in use. It's been long known that keeping your wireless devices plugged into the wall when not in use eats up electricity -- kind of like when you leave a light on in an empty room. In fact, 75% of the energy in your home right now is probably being wasted by these devices. One of those devices is your cell phone charger. A cell phone charger is not only a daily annoyance, but a big energy problem. Let's get rid of it. And let's plan to unplug all our devices that are wasting electricity. --- Still baffled?
