The Plant-book is a Laptop concept that takes a leaf out of the life
of a bamboo plant. What I mean is that the battery charging system is
inspired by the water-soaking abilities of the bamboo!
The designers explain, “The system uses an external water tank, hence
the Plantbook continuously absorbs water when soaking it in water and
generates electrolysis using power stored in a solar heat plate
installed on the top. In this process, it is operated using hydrogen as
energy source and discharges oxygen. If you put it into a water bottle
while you don’t use the laptop, it automatically charges a battery and
discharges oxygen. A leaf-shaped strap hanging on the top is made with
silicon. It plays a role of a hand ring and a green LED indicates when
the battery is charged. Using this LED, users can check how much spare
capacity the batter has.”
