Does it really work?
In fact, before you start celebrating, know that the story is a bit strange: exact values and the details of the technology were not disclosed by the manufacturer. In an interview to a website called Rude Baguette, CEO Pilo, Nicolas Toper, says that the company is the lesser of several that are already testing the technology in a fight that even includes Apple and Microsoft - but only it could be so efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly.
Anyway, according Toper, Pilo is the most suitable for devices that always need to be with some energy, such as remote-control and video game controls, it is not recommended for heavy use, such as clocks or lamps, for example. If the battery goes well, the idea is to expand the technology for batteries of mobile devices such as smartphones.
