Solar Powered Computers Coming Soon?

Personal computers have been known to consume a lot of energy and while most manufacturers have tried to lower their consumption via the energy star ratings, it remains that a full shift in the energy consumption from plugging them in towards solar power is an idea up in the air that can actually happen.
Owe it all to Intel which has been trying to come up with charging gizmos via solar and wind power.
That’s one of the futuristic scenarios Intel’s researchers are aiming for as the company develop sensors or other technologies that can grab all kinds of free energy sources from around us, such as radio waves (a type of electromagnetic energy) and the sun.
So it can happen. Aside from being a new concept, it is something that is bound to capture the ideas of most consumers especially the geeks in the technology world.
Just check out the illustration on how Intel is going about it. Makes sense?
