Solar Phone Charger – Charge Your Phone with renewable energy.

Monday, Apr. 12th 2010

The term “Global Warming” is a familiar term concerning our environment and this really poses a real threat to our way of life. The looming energy crisis and the environmental costs associated with traditional energy sources are too high to ignore in an era of massive climate change. Having access to renewable, clean sources of energy is an urgent need. Powering even the smallest of appliance with a clean energy source can go a long way in reducing our carbon emission. Using a solar phone charger is just one-step in this direction.

As the name suggests, a solar phone charger uses the energy of the sun to charge up your mobile phone.

Mobile phone chargers traditionally require the use of an electrical outlet. Getting your phone charged if you are outdoors most of the time, or not having access to a traditional power source, can sometimes be a major problem.

With a solar phone charger, you can simply use the power of the sun to charge your phone anytime, anywhere. How cool is that!

Using photovoltaic cells, a solar cell phone charger can quickly turn the power of the sun into electricity. This electricity can be used to recharge your phone anywhere.

Altoids Tin – RoadWarrior – USB Charger, LED flashlight, 4gb flashdrive, bluetooth receiver

Friday, Sep. 3rd 2010

I know, the title is insane. This is my 3rd or 4th offering to the altoids tin arena of projects. I travel quite a lot on business and am always in need of a few things, namely, a USB device charger, flashdrive or memory stick, small flashlight, USB hub and of course the handy bluetooth receiver. So, here it all is in one package!! Introducing, the Altoids “RoadWarrior” Survival Kit a.k.a the “Minty-MEGAboost” !! Powered by 8, yes 8AAA batteries (4×4 in parallel) for a total of 6 volts and +/- 2200mah of charging goodness. This will charge my ipods/phones many times over and when there’s isn’t enough juice to keep on charging there is plenty to power the high intensity LED flashlight for days after. The flashdrive, USB hub and bluetooth receiver are all powered by the computer and work flawlessly. This thing goes everywhere I do…..except on airplanes (freaks security out bad)! -Side note: Because I’m using two 4AAA packs in parallel I can use the device with only 4 or all 8AAA batteries, handy!
