Instruksjonsbruker Honus byggde ikke bare MightMintyBoost til geek og demonstrerte sine elektronikkprosjekt ferdigheter (selv om det er absolutt et lurt lite prosjekt å gjøre det), han er seriøs om solenergi og virkningen av ren energi har:
Apple has sold over 30 million iPodTouch/iPhone units- imagine charging all of them via solar power…. If every iPhone/iPodTouch sold was fully charged every day (averaging the battery capacity) via solar power instead of fossil fuel power we would save approximately 50.644gWh of energy, roughly equivalent to 75,965,625 lbs. of CO2 in the atmosphere per year. Granted that’s a best case scenario (assuming you can get enough sunlight per day and approximately 1.5 lbs. CO2 produced per kWh used.) Of course, that doesn’t even figure in all the other iPods, cell phones, PDAs, microcontrollers (I use it to power my Arduino projects) and other USB devices that can be powered by this charger- one little solar cell charger may not seem like it can make a difference but add all those millions of devices together and that’s a lot of energy!
Hans MightyMintyBoost er en batteristimulator for enheter som kan lade opp via USB, og den aksepterer innkommende strøm fra solpanelet på toppen (eller i skyfri dager kan lades via en vegglader eller USB-porten på datamaskinen). Ta opp linken under for å se sin fullbyggingsguide og opprett din egen MightyMintyBoost.
