A kit for charging the batteries of mobile phones with the generator of the bike. It is intended for emerging markets, often laboratories for innovation
It's called Bicycle Charger Kit, is designed for emerging markets, but is very useful for anyone who often go by bike.
The product is signed by Nokia and a battery charger for mobile phones that feeds pedaling.
It is really simple.
There is a kind of case that allows you to set your phone to your handlebars, and a dynamo that is positioned on the wheel and instead exploits the movement to produce electricity, which is transmitted to the charger.
is exactly the same mechanism that the dear old bicycles have always used, for example, to turn on the lights.
No invention, therefore, simply a convenient device that has the advantage of being environmentally friendly.
"Bicycles are the most common means of transport in many world markets," says Alex Lambeek, vice president of the Finnish giant, according to which the battery charger for the two wheels is a good solution is "for those who will use it to address the difficult access to electricity "is for those who like to make responsible choices for the environment.
The charger is compatible with all Nokia phones that have the jack to two millimeters (this entry on most phones).
The system starts when you reach the speed of six kilometers per hour.
Cycling 10 minutes a day to ten km / h is generated on average 30 minutes a charge of communication, or 37 hours in standby mode.
These average values, because, depending on the type of phone battery, it may be different. The rate of recharge increases with the bicycle.
sale later this year in stores and online, will cost about $ 18, € 15.
The product, which is not a case was presented in Nairobi, Kenya, is one of the innovations that manufacturers think for emerging markets.
This is not an absolute novelty on the market: Motorola has introduced a similar one at the Consumer Electronics Show 2007, the same year that California has launched its Dahon Biologic Freecharge.
And there are other solutions for mobile phones or other mobile devices that charge batteries in an environmentally sound manner, or make it possible when you do not have an electrical outlet.
There are mobile phones that are recharged by solar energy, for example (to stay in Africa), those of Safaricom, or the Chinese ZTE Corp, but there are similar devices designed by Samsung or LG, rather than charge Solar battery always, is designed for specific products is universal.
often, almost always, it comes to innovations for emerging markets, confirming perhaps that necessity is the mother Ingenga. Another example is the Indian Ideaforge Technology, which for mobile phones has invented a mechanical hand-wound battery.
