Towards LiFi Home Theatre Systems

For all my adherents who are unhappy by the amount of wiring in today's world. Couldn't LiFi combined with WiFi power through quantum dot cantilevers for a home theatre system which does not require wires? Maybe optoelectronic Einstein refridgerator engines micronized and churning Bose's bonedusts. ☠️ Hybrid Power System Analysis

Hybrid Power System Analysis

⚡ System Schematic

This schematic illustrates the flow for a theoretical hybrid-powered speaker system. It features two independent paths: a Power Path for harvesting ambient energy and a Data Path for receiving the audio signal.

πŸ“Š Appendix: System Calculations & Statistics

The following calculations model the performance of this theoretical system based on a set of optimistic, cutting-edge component assumptions.

1. Core Component Assumptions

Component Specification Value
Energy Storage 18650 Li-ion Battery 3.7 V, 3000 mAh
Total Capacity (3.7 V * 3.0 Ah) 11.1 Wh
Energy Consumption Hypothetical Graphene Speaker (RMS) 50 mW (0.05 W)
Energy Generation Hypothetical Harvesters (Li-Fi + Wi-Fi) 15 mW (0.015 W)

2. Runtime Calculation: Baseline (Battery Only)

This determines how long the speaker will run on a full battery with no harvesters attached.

Total Battery Capacity (Wh) / Speaker Draw (W)

11.1 Wh / 0.05 W = 222 hours

(Equivalent to 9.25 days of continuous runtime)

3. Runtime Calculation: Hybrid System (Battery + Harvesters)

This determines how long the speaker runs with the harvesters actively slowing the battery drain.

Net Power Draw Calculation: Speaker Draw (W) - Harvested Power (W)

0.05 W - 0.015 W = 0.035 W (35 mW)


New Runtime Calculation: Total Battery Capacity (Wh) / Net Power Draw (W)

11.1 Wh / 0.035 W = 317.14 hours

(Equivalent to 13.21 days of continuous runtime)

4. Final Extension Time Calculation

This shows the "extra" runtime provided by the hybrid harvesting system.

Hybrid Runtime - Baseline Runtime

317.14 hours - 222 hours = 95.14 hours

The harvesters provide an additional ~95 hours (or 3.96 days) of runtime, representing a 42.8% improvement in battery life.
