Portable foot-powered generator

Mar 17, 2008
All electronic devices need energy to run. As they develop, they need more and more electricity to remain operational. The battery life is a very important parameter for gadgets, knowing it will make you able to say, how long your gadget will help you without recharging. When in a city, where outlets are almost everywhere, this is not a huge problem, but when you are left with no power in the middle of the forest or field - it becomes a huge problem indeed. There are ways to solve this problem: to carry some additional batteries for the most important devices or to have some special tools that will help to charge your portable electronics with some other methods than from outlet. One of them is this gadget.

Weza, as this device is called, looks like a foot-powered pump often used by drivers. It has a small generator inside, which collects energy from lever and transforms it into electricity. It has a battery inside, so power produced will charge the internal battery at a 40-watt rate, which then can power up almost any electronic device. Its output is 12V, so it will be enough to start an engine if your car battery is completely discharged.

Interesting enough, it can even be used to watch a small TV while constantly stepping down on the lever - a good exercise to lose weight - and you will have a good reason not to stop exercising! A line of LEDs on the front shows you your charge rate while pedaling and battery level with the touch of a button - so you will know is it enough already or not.

Charging the battery fully need complete dedication, so do not expect immediate results. But if you are stuck with no outlets around, and you need to power up some of your devices, this portable generator will do the job.
