Simon Wilby is The Smart Inventor

Simon Wilby was born to invent. From an early age in his Cinderford, Gloucester, England home his curiosity of how things worked and how to improve them became his passion.

Relocating to Calgary Canada his focus became modern technology. His goal was how to make the world an easier place to live and more environmentally friendly.

 In 2006 Simon was the first person to invent and market a solar powered battery case for cell phones, “The Smart Solar Battery Charger.” Always in love with the tropics Simon took his creative mind to Barbados. There he created a solar powered street light system that is now in the process of being approved for purchase by the governments of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Islands.

Now living in the U.S. Simon is about to launch “The Invention That Will Change Worldwide Communications Forever.” Imagine downloading a free app and calling anywhere in the world.

Simon Says: Solar Can Flourish

The solar renewable energy industry has endured its share of struggles, and traditionally had very little margin control when the industry was small, it was viewed as little more than a new-fad – an oddball dream of, hippies and mad scientists. Then after over 30 years of struggle, BAM! Along came it’s sudden success and along with it business personnel who did not (in most cases) speak solar. The solar industry is now bustling with an annual growth, growing at over 50% during the last five years.     
          
All solar cells were once a costly invention; at times before being reserved initially for satellites and DOD/Military use. In fact, back in the year 1977, a single watt of solar generating capacity cost $77. That inflated price point has now been dramatically reduced down to a fraction of the cost at about 80 cents. SOLAR power is now beginning to compete with the more expensive sort of conventionally generated electricity. When this price comes down even more though, solar likely will really hit the big time.

Simon Wilby discusses an alternate plan to replace silicon, the material used to make most solar cells, with a substance called a perovskite. A substance that he believes could cut the cost of a single watt of solar generating capacity by an incredible three-quarters.

When light is received by the solar cells, it bumps electrons away from the cell’s material and leaves behind empty spaces called holes. Electrons and holes then flow in different directions and the result is an electric current.
The more electrons and holes there are, and the faster they flow, the bigger the current will be. Electrons, however, often get captured by holes while still inside the cell, and cannot therefore contribute to the current. The average distance an electron travels in a material before it gets captured is known as that material’s diffusion length. The larger the diffusion length, the more efficient the cell.

The silicon used in commercial solar cells has a diffusion length of ten nanometers (billionth of a meter), which is not much. Partly for this reason silicon cell’s efficiency at converting incident light into electricity is less than 10%. There is a substance however that Simon Wilby says does better. It has a diffusion length of 1,000 nanometers, giving it an efficiency of 15%. And that, Simon says, has been achieved without much tweaking of the material.

The implication is that it could be made more efficient still. The perovskites are substances composed of what are known as cubo-octahedral crystals—in other words, cubes with the corners cut off. They thus have six octagonal faces and eight triangular ones. Perovskite itself is a naturally occurring mineral, calcium titanium oxide, but lots of other elemental combinations adopt the same shape, and tinkering with the mix changes the frequency of the light that enables the crystal to absorb light the best.

There is also a perovskite hybrid element  that is a particularly sophisticated one. It has an organic part, made of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, and an inorganic part, made of lead, iodine and chlorine. The organic part acts as a dye, taking in large quantities of sunlight. The inorganic part helps conduct the electrons that are subsequently released.

The element is also cost effective to make. For example purifying silicon requires high (and therefore costly) temperatures. This perovskite can be blended at room temperature. Tested laboratory versions of cells made from it cost about 40 cents per watt (for the laymen term this is equivalent to about half the cost of commercial silicon-based solar cells). At an industrial scale, Simon Wilby expects, that lower cost could reduce by half again.

Simon Wilby Offers America Solutions to Practical Problems

Simon Wilby, CEO of The Smart Power Inc.,a company offering practical solutions to many of today’s technological and environmental problems is proud to introduce his invention to America. Going by the name “The Smart One,” it is a solar powered cellphone battery charger. Moving to Calgary, Canada from the U.K. in 1991, Simon Wilby started inventing things to make his life easier. He quickly made a name for himself in Canada as an inventor and as an entrepreneur when he took things a step further by marketing his inventions.

Simon Wilby’s invention -- a two-way voice collar designed for dogs to help their owners keep track of them -- is what set everything into motion. He was inspired to invent this pet device by his need to constantly maintain contact with his five dogs, as he is a pet-lover himself. Figuring that other pet-lovers like himself might find themselves in the same predicament, he marketed said device. And the rest, as they say, is history.

A solar-powered lithium battery for cell phones was next on the list of Simon Wilby’s many practical inventions. He thought of solar-powered batteries as a practical solution to the problem in which he frequently found himself in: his phone battery dying on him right in the middle of an important call. The Smart Power, Inc. is currently marketing this product in question called “The Smart One.”

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you weren’t anywhere near a socket and needed to use one so badly to charge your laptop, cell phone, digital camera and the likes? Fear not for those days could well be over before you know it. The Canadian inventor Simon Wilby has established a means for keeping portable devices particularly cell phones with his breakthrough technology known as “The Smart One” with the application of solar power energy.

The idea originated when Simon Wilby had issues with his own mobile phone dying in mid-conversations with important people while on-call. He decided not to put up with it anymore and came up with the brilliant idea of using the environmentally friendly solar energy.

This technology known as “The Smart One” makes use of ground-breaking plastic cells that provides a cell phone with increasing talk-time by 300%. Simon Wilby created this device to enable chargers to charge more effectively compared to the typical hand phone batteries.

The creator of “The Smart One”, Simon Wilby declares that it can be retrofitted to every type of mobile phone being sold in the market today, in just under a minute.
Currently, there are discussions in progress to accommodate the technology for other gizmos and gadgets according to Simon Wilby. This is definitely exciting news for sun lovers all over the world as “The Smart One” was introduced late 2008 at the Barbados.

This new technology formulates the end of unsightly wires and bulky conventional chargers. Simon Wilby and “The Smart One” is the beginning of a beautiful solar powered world.
