I'm extremely interested in how this will work with their other patents (especially the hydrogen fuel cell patent for portable mobile devices). As always, Patentlyapple is an amazing source for Apple Patents, especially the hydrogen fuel cell + solar + wind power tech patents they are applying for and being granted. here's another one on the wind->heat->electricity thing. http://appleinsider.com/articles/12/12/27/apples-wind-turbine-technology-uses-heat-not-kinetic-energy-to-generate-electricity
http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2012/12/apple-to-harness-stored-wind-energy-via-new-on-demand-system.html http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2012/01/apple-reinvents-the-ionic-wind-generator-cooling-system.html I'd love to know what the vorts think about that Ionic wind generator cooling system that Apple have patented and have been working on. It seems that Apple have been working on solar-panel-layering for the touchscreens for future iDevices for quite some time. So if you put all of these together (wind turbines to harness heat to electricity, new iDevices with touchscreens with a solar panel layered into the screen, and the hydrogen fuel cells -- are future Apple devices going to be completely off-the-grid, recharging etc? That would really blow Android out of the water - especially if they added insult to injury by producing a keynote where they graciously charge an android phone with an iPhone ;) ) On 29 December 2012 17:51, Jones Beene <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/27/apple-exploring-alternative-wind-power-tech > nology-and-motion-control-mac-mice/ > > >
