At CES 2024, Lenovo unveiled an innovative wireless keyboard and mouse set that utilizes mechanical energy and solar power for charging, eliminating the need for conventional charging methods. This system called the Mechanical Energy Harvesting Combo, combines mechanical movement and solar irradiation to sustain the power requirements of these peripherals.
The Tech Combines Solar and Mechanical Power for Endless Energy
Lenovo’s concept keyboard boasts a slim solar panel for efficient solar energy capture. It also includes a unique circular fidget button that, when rotated for around five minutes, generates enough energy for approximately 30 minutes of typing. This feature serves as a convenient alternative power source when solar energy is not accessible.
Similarly, the mouse in this kit is equipped with an innovative feature: a built-in hand crank. Extending and winding this crank for just a minute can provide up to 30 minutes of battery life for active usage. This feature ensures that the mouse remains functional even in environments lacking solar exposure.
Although keyboards and mice generally have low power requirements, the integration of these energy-harvesting technologies in Lenovo’s concept represents a significant step forward in sustainable and user-friendly design. It demonstrates that even small, everyday devices can contribute to reducing dependency on traditional power sources.
Lenovo’s concept keyboard and mouse also offer Bluetooth and 2.4G dual-mode connectivity for versatile pairing with various devices. Lenovo claims extended battery life when using Bluetooth, but specific technical specifications, including battery life details, have not been officially disclosed for these peripherals.
Lenovo has not announced any intentions to release the showcased concept of a solar and mechanical energy-powered keyboard and mouse set from CES 2024.
