It is a concept phone designed by Patrick Hyland and the cool part of this is that it is charged using body heat!

It is made of copper (Cu) which is a good conductor of heat.

It has an embedded

thermogenerator which conducts heat from any source into electrical energy to charge the phone.

Last year, when the International Telecommunications Union rolled out universal phone chargers, statistics showed that 51,000 tons of redundant chargers, and 13.6million tones of greenhouse gas emissions were generated each year. Concepts like this phone can cut down this number

Saves electricity needed to charge phones Never worry about low batteries. It is cool. Easy to charge! All you need is your pocket, your hands

or a radiator. No more energy vampires. It can be recycled

Copper is in high demand and it is not a renewable resource

It will take a long time for this phone to show up in the markets.
