A solar power generation unit that can be carried around and move PCs and TV "The Forty 2"

A project called collecting mass production in a single unit that can be carried in one unit that can generate power by sunlight to charge a lithium ion battery, powering a television, laptop PC, floodlight, etc. is a project in the United StatesCloud funding siteofKickstarterIt has been expanded on.

The appearance of the product looks like this. It has the size of a traveling trunk position, and when sunlight is applied, it can generate electric power of 200 W at the maximum, and it can supply 350 watt / hour from a fully charged lithium ion battery with three output outlets. Production will be done in the USA.


It is possible to carry around with folding down.

The Forty 2 by Peppermint Energy? Kickstarter


In the beginning of the movie, "It is said that 3 billion people in the world need a reliable simple and portable power supply."


Refrigerating medicines in areas where power supply from stable power supply is not received ... ....


Electric power is necessary to sterilize drinking water.


Of course, electricity is necessary to light the lights in the roads and rooms.



However, the following solar power generation unit "The Forty 2" was created to manage the current situation that there are many people around the world that do not have access to the electricity used for such applications.


Structure with multiple small panels mounted.


It is characterized by collecting energy from sunlight and storing it in battery in one portable unit, so you do not have to prepare panel and battery separately.


The prototypes that can actually be operated are as follows.


It opens with a spur and looks like this.


It is about this size when compared with adult male.


It is possible to move a large-sized home TV.


How to charge "MacBook Air".



The surface looks something like this.


This part of the hinge is like this.


It is also possible to light the light by connecting to a stationary floodlight.


"3 billion people can not receive stable power supply, more than half of them live without any access to electric power at all," says Gramm.




Peppermint Energy is planning to proceed with NGOs and NPOs and is planning to supply "The Forty 2" to remote areas in India and South Dakota State.



Many parts of "The Forty 2" are not ready-made items but custom-made products, so it is necessary to fund a certain amount for mass production.


And, in order to start producing this product, they are collecting funds with Kickstarter.



By the way, the message at the end of the video is "Let's turn on the light for everybody (Let's light up for everyone)".


This project is recruiting investors up to 11:24 pm on September 12, 2012 at Japan time, and at the time of article creation it invested 550 dollars (about 43,000 yen), 50 dollars (about 3900 yen) If you pay international shipping fee, 15 people have the right to receive 1 product.
