Chojambulira chachilengedwe cha foni: Chopangira magetsi chamtsogolo

E-Kaia ndi chojambulira cha mafoni chomwe chimagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zochulukirapo kuchokera ku chomera cha photosynthetic cycle ndi tizilombo tating'onoting'ono m'nthaka kupanga magetsi. E-Kaia idapangidwa ndi Evelyn Aravena, Camila Rupcich, ndi Carolina Guerro mu 2009, ophunzira ochokera ku Duoc UC, ndi Andrés Bello University ku Chile. E-Kaia imagwira ntchito pokwirira pang'ono biocircuit m'nthaka pafupi ndi chomera. 

Zomera zimatenga mpweya wa okosijeni, ndipo zikauphatikiza ndi mphamvu yochokera kudzuwa, zimadutsa m’njira ya kagayidwe kachakudya yotchedwa photosynthesis. Kuzungulira kumeneku kumapanga chakudya cha zomera, zomwe zina zimasungidwa mumizu. Pakati pa mizu yake pali tizilombo tating'onoting'ono tomwe timathandizira kuti mbewuyo itenge zakudya zomanga thupi ndipo imapezanso chakudya. Tizilombo tating'onoting'ono timagwiritsa ntchito chakudyachi kuti tipange kagayidwe kawo. M'zinthu izi, zakudya zimasinthidwa kukhala mphamvu ndipo panthawiyi ma elekitironi ena amatayika - amalowetsedwa m'nthaka. Ndi ma electron omwe chipangizo cha E-Kaia chimapezerapo mwayi. Sikuti ma electron onse amakololedwa panthawiyi, ndipo zomera ndi tizilombo toyambitsa matenda sizimavulazidwa. Koposa zonse, mphamvu zamtundu uwu, ngakhale zazing'ono, sizikhudza chilengedwe chifukwa sizitulutsa mpweya kapena zinthu zovulaza monga njira zachikhalidwe.

Kutulutsa kwa E-Kaia ndi 5 volts ndi 0.6 amps, zomwe ndizokwanira kulipira foni yanu pafupifupi ola limodzi ndi theka; poyerekeza, chotulutsa cha Apple USB chotulutsa ndi 5 volts ndi 1 amp. Pulagi ya USB imaphatikizidwa mu E-Kaia kotero kuti ma charger ambiri amafoni kapena zida zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito USB zimatha kulumikiza ndikulipiritsa mwachilolezo cha chilengedwe. Chifukwa chivomerezo cha timuyi chikadalipobe, zenizeni za E-Kaia bio-circuit sizinapezeke, koma gululi likuyembekeza kuti litha kuyamba kugawa chipangizocho pambuyo pake mu 2015. 

Mofananamo, Wageningen University ku Netherlands ikupanga maphunziro a Chomera-e. The Plant-e amagwiritsa ntchito mfundo yofanana ndi E-Kaia pomwe ma elekitironi ochokera ku tizilombo tating'onoting'ono m'nthaka amayendetsa chipangizocho. Monga chipangizo cha Plant-e chili ndi patent zambiri zatulutsidwa momwe imagwirira ntchito: Anode imayikidwa m'nthaka, ndipo kathode wozunguliridwa ndi madzi amayikidwa pafupi ndi dothi lolekanitsidwa ndi nembanemba. Anode ndi cathode zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi chipangizo ndi mawaya. Popeza pali kusiyana kwa mtengo pakati pa chilengedwe chomwe anode ndi cathode zilimo, ma elekitironi amayenda kuchokera kunthaka kudzera mu anode ndi cathode ndi kulowa mu charger. Kuyenda kwa ma elekitironi kumapanga mphamvu yamagetsi ndi mphamvu pa chipangizocho.
