We all know that noise is energy, and it
takes energy to make sound. We also know that robotic carpet cleaner make
noise and sound, and we should be collecting that noise, rather than letting it
go to waste, or irritate us. Since the little Rumba vacuum cleaner, although it
doesn't make much noise, it does make some, therefore we should recapture it,
the noise that is, and use it to trickle charge the battery. Next, we know that
if we rub our feet on the carpet and then touch something we let off a shock.
This is because we are trading electrons with the carpet due to the friction we
create.
We do know that a Rumba running across the
floor and the carpet will pick up that static energy from the friction as well.
And there's no reason it couldn't charge the battery with a trickle charge each
time it shocks itself. Now then, if we were to do this, we would be recapturing
some of that lost energy, therefore the Rumba robotic vacuum cleaner could go
longer between charges, meaning it could vacuum for a longer period of time
before it goes and docks back up to its recharging station. How much would
these new features cost to implement in each new robot
vacuum cleaner?
