[Tech]

We like to periodically highlight a particular technology or product that we find remarkable. (Sometimes these are from a client, although often not.) Read on to see our latest pick for Tech of the Month...


Company: M2E Power

Technology:

M2E Power is commercializing a renewable energy platform called “M2E” ---- motion to energy. It will free mobile electronic device users from the need to regularly recharge or replace batteries. The company’s patent-pending technology taps the kinetic energy of everyday human or vehicle motion to continuously generate and store power in mobile devices – from night vision goggles to cells phones and MP3 players.

VOX Factor:


In essence, M2E is a self recharging battery. The impact is off the charts. Imagine never having to plug in your mobile device....no longer being reliant on a power grid. From an environmental impact, it can eliminate the need for a charger (which wastes a lot of power), dramatically cuts down on lithium (reduction of landfills), and is a renewable energy source. It also has implications with big power applications like wind generators and hydro power. This technology will likely reach consumers in the next three years, but should be deployed in the military by the end of 2008.
