Nanotechnology In A Spray Can
Low wireless reception can become very frustrating when you really need your wireless service. Holding your phone in the air and waving it around looks silly and can be pointless. Sitting in one specific spot in the house with your laptop in order to get wireless Internet can be just as annoying. We may not have to do that for much longer. Chamtech Enterprises, a technology research company that deals mostly with the military, has developed a nanotechnology that it claims can boost any kind of wireless signal exponentially and uses the heat energy a device already generates. Google’s Solve for X conference, where companies present extraordinary ideas and current projects, featured a first public look into Chamtech’s new technology.
Amazingly, the nanotechnology that can boost antennae signals comes in an aerosol spray can. The spray-on antenna looks like paint, but, according to Chamtech’s CEO Anthony Sutera, has the ability to boost the signal of an RFID chip from a mere five feet to at least seven hundred feet. The company also claims that it can transmit signals underwater for up to a mile with only 3 watts of power. A normal antenna that is able to transmit signals that far underwater would require thousands of watts of power to do so. Chamtech Enterprises showed pictures of a test that used a tree trunk for the antenna by spraying the nanotechnology onto the tree. There were also pictures demonstrating how they would boost the range of an iPhone antenna.
The US military has been experimenting with Chamtech’s technology for some time and is finding it very useful. Chamtech cannot share details about which government organizations are using the spray-on antenna technology, however, because of the sensitive nature of the projects.
Sutera has some very big ideas of where this spray-on antenna-boosting nanotechnology could go in the future. He imagines walls painted with it so that wireless service is available and boosted everywhere. He talks about sending signals from underwater to high in the atmosphere. He says that antennas everywhere take up too much power and release usable energy through heat. With Chamtech’s new technology, antennae would no longer waste that heat. Instead, the nanotechnology would utilize the heat to boost the signal.
The video presentation from Google’s Solve for X conference did not explain the science of how the nanotechnology can boost the signals as much as Chamtech claims. It will be necessary for an independent source to verify these claims. When that happens, it could mean a drastic change in the way our wireless services work. When painted with this nanotechnology, our devices will reliably pick up signals from farther away as well as use less power to do so. Who knows, it may even lead to the obsolescence of cell towers and telephone poles.
