Watch Bugs Unbelievably Charge A Smartphone

This ad by Qualcomm is more impressive and less gross than I thought it would be — it uses bugs on miniature circus equipment to charge an Android phone with a Snapdragon processor. I’m guessing it’s an attempt to show off how low-powered the Snapdragon processor can be? Whatever, complex bugs are cool. [Bug Circus Generator via Laughing Squid]

    Ah if only that ad were real … hmm – could bugs be the answer to global warming and assist with renewable energy ?
