According to Sharp, 10 minutes of charging in bright sunny day would be sufficient for minutes or two hours in the standby mode. To evaluate the effectiveness of charge from the solar panel outside the display informs the user about the level of received ( «optimal charge», «charge», «no charge» and «the absence of solar energy») and the accumulated energy in the minutes of the conversation. Unfortunately it must be recognized that at the present stage of solar battery in the phone plays only a minor role in the diet. Journalists from techon had «cook» sun-unit within 40 minutes to accumulate charge for a minute call. A five-minute call to the phone had to be kept under bright sunshine to 85 minutes.

Emissions of harmful substances resulting from the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, made unfit for use by tens of thousands of square kilometers of fertile soil in the Ukraine, Belarus and other countries. The consequences were such that safely grow crops in the «closed» areas will resume only a few hundred years. Nevertheless, scientists have found a way to significantly speed up the process of purifying the land. Make it they are going through biofuels.
Recently scientists engineers from Belarus and Ireland in Minsk to discuss the use of more than 40 thousand square kilometers of land, poisoned with radioactive emissions of Chernobyl (Strontium-90, Cesium-137, Plutonium, Americium). According to foreign experts, better and safer all the territory of our time used for biofuel production, that is to grow beets and grain. In addition, some manufacturers of fuel are ready to buy this stuff and rework it.
For example, technologists Greenfield Project Management are confident that all hazardous substances for humans during the processing of «nuclear» cultures can be drawn from the raw materials at one stage production. This balance then burned and the ashes preserved dangerous and sent to the area of storage of radioactive wastes of conventional nuclear power plants.
optimistic view is not shared by all scientists. The UN still relevant to this zatee skeptical. One of the most compelling reason – the lack of technology, opportunities for safe storage and reprocessing of radioactive waste, like Ireland and in Belarus. Nevertheless, in Minsk, this project considered one of the highest priority, so the state will soon ready to tackle the existing problems.
Also important is the fact that the cultivation of certain crops can help the early purification of soil from the radioactive elements. Scientists believe that the use of land for biofuel production will reduce the process of restoring land to 20 – 40 years.
