The Freeplay Clamp charger is integral to the success of the One Lap Top Per Child challenge.
SPECIFICATIONS
Industrial standard materials used throughout. Electricity generated by AC alternator, via crank and gearbox. Output is regulated, factory set to any value between 4V and 18V DC. Output power at 130 RPM is approximately 12W Wide range of connector configurations. Foldable handle LED indicator for minimum effective cranking speed. 164mm 72mm 104mm 640gm
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Charger is clamped to a stable surface or post. By cranking the handle, human energy is harvested from the user. This energy is converted into electricity and made available to power products. The electrical output is regulated to a factory pre-set voltage, generally 12V DC but this can be customer specified to almost any value. The charger is equipped with an LED charge level indicator that illuminates once the minimum crank speed is reached. The handle can be turned in both directions and the faster the handle is turned the higher the level of power generated. The power output cable can be fitted with a wide range of connectors, as specified by the customer.
