A CHINESE inventor says she has devised a way to power phones with a can of Coca-Cola after concerns about the financial and environmental costs of mobile phone batteries.
Developer Daizi Zheng's ecologically-friendly battery uses soda to power her mobile phone, rather than harmful lithium-based batteries.
"The concept is using bio battery ... to create a pollution-free environment," Zheng told Sky News.
"By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen while the battery dies out," she said.
Zheng explained that a sugar-powered phone has the potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than conventional batteries and could be fully biodegradable.
She designed the power cell as a client project for Nokia.
"At the time they wanted something to bring out within the next two years and thought my design was too futuristic," she said.
