Red bricks typically used for the construction and architectural aesthetics for more than 5000 years can be made to work as a capacitor or as energy-storing bricks, just like batteries.
Besides sand, salt is another great alternative to lithium-ion batteries. And the best part, both materials are available in plenty, and can be harvested with minimal harm to the environment!
Wood batteries might be what we need in the world. The current batteries are unsustainable and use far more energy to produce than they can give. They also cause extensive damage to the environment through pollution.
Yeah, I have these, great cos they work with other stuff like camping stoves that provide power via usb, so now i just need paper or wood to have power in any small device.
This is so simple. Continuance is a set of batteries with a USB interface on the side. The batteries are rechargeable plus dole out some juice to stranded gadgets that are starved of power. Handy, compact and a totally do-able concept! Kudos! Continuance is an iF concept design entry for 2011
When combined with energy sources such as solar and wind, energy-storing bricks can help us realize an entirely green energy industry.
This fantastic idea can completely replace lithium-ion batteries that significantly impact the environment.
You can build a house that powers itself with these energy-storing bricks.

Sand batteries are the energy industry’s future, especially if paired with other green energies such as solar power.
Sand has the potential to be one of the most eco-friendly energy storage mediums.
How about this idea of plastic batteries? Perhaps this is what we need to start recycling plastic on a large scale!
Organic batteries made from wood! This is the future of clean energy!

seen on indigogo, but it died an early death
To be honest its not a great idea – you don’t move it around enough to charge it – just go with a wireless charger.

here you go.
