BACKGROUND

As the capabilities of cellular phones increase their usage rates likewise increase. The increased usage rates drive a need for increased power. Such a demand may be met by increasing battery capacity. However, larger capacity batteries still require ready access to an electrical wall outlet or other power source. This need can also be addressed by carrying additional batteries, but this practice can become cumbersome to consumers due to increased bulk and weight. Additionally, existing solutions may not offer power for a sufficiently long time period or under inhospitable conditions. There is a need for a means of extending battery life that will far exceed the daily needs of the average user, even in austere conditions.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE DESCRIPTION

The following presents a simplified summary of the innovation in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview of the innovation. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the innovation or to delineate the scope of the innovation. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the innovation in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises systems and methods of providing internally-generated power for extended cellular phone use, virtually eliminating or otherwise alleviating a need to recharge a cellular phone using external means such as a wall outlet.

In aspects, the subject innovation provides substantial benefits in terms of convenience. One advantage resides in the fact that the new technology will cost less than existing alternatives. Additionally the present innovation is light weight, uses less energy than alternative solutions, and can hold a charge without use of the phone, e.g., for three days.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the innovation are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the innovation can be employed and the subject innovation is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features of the innovation will become apparent from the following detailed description of the innovation when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
