making more out of pedal power - home battery pack
9 out of every 20 families in India are still using bicycles (Census 2011).
This provides great potential for tapping a lot of energy from these cycles.
Atom is a lightweight bike generator that can power phones, lights, or any electronic device via USB.
It comes with a removable rechargeable battery pack, which means you can use the stored energy whenever and wherever you want.
"Atom was designed to charge the phone at 2. 5 W at 14.
5 km per hour, start charging at 0 under 5 kmph. 75 W.
The power generation speed depends on the speed, but we have designed the atom to work completely at a medium speed.
At this speed, the device is charged at the same speed as the computer is plugged in and is compliant with USB 2.
0 standard, "said Aaron Latzke of Siva Cycle, who is the brain behind the design of the device.
This charging rate is equivalent to 1 cent for every 2 minutes in the 1440 mAh battery cycle, and this is the case with the iPhone 5.
Therefore, for batteries with smaller capacity, the charging speed will be faster.
It all started a few years ago, when he was working on a job in Belgium, laszke was riding a few bikes powered by old bikes --
Generator.
This allowed him to consider building a more suitable bicycle generator for a 21 st century rider.
This creates atoms.
Weight 300 grams, prototype 7.
5 "high, 3" wide, 1.
2 "deep, making it reliable and compact, can be mounted on the rear wheels of most bicycles.
"The Atomic life we designed is 5 years without maintenance.
This life uses 32 km pounds a day, 7 days a week.
In addition, Atom will be completely waterproof when riding on rain and muddy roads, "added Latzke, stressing longevity is a priority.
On Earth Day this year, Siva Cycle announced that they will have major news.
As their work prototype was ready, they went to Kickstarter the next day, a portal that funded projects using crowdsourcing.
Seeking $85,000 in a month (Until May 23, 2013)
In order to get into production, the atom received an overwhelming response.
In a little more than a week, it is easy for them to reach their original goals, so that they can expand their goals and goals.
If things follow their schedule, they expect to start shipping atomic generators to supporters by November.
"The price of atoms [$105]
Fixed Domestic 【U. S. ]
And the European market.
We plan to put Atom in markets like India when we can provide more achievable prices . "
"India ranks first on the list where we want the atom to be transferred.
