Portable solar power generation unit "Forty 2" arrived so I actually used it under the sun

Speaking of outdoor, enjoying extraordinary things in nature, there are business people who have to keep cell phones and PCs away from themselves even at such times, "If you can use convenient electric appliances you get more outdoor fun Sometimes I think. A solar power generation unit that can generate and feed electric power enough to move PCs and televisions even outdoors is useful at such timesForty 2"is.I was recruiting funds with KickstarterAs things reached commercialization, I actually tried to generate electricity under the midsummer sun.

If you use Forty 2 outside you can use it like this.

◆ Photo review
Forty 2 arrived in such a box and arrived.


When I put the iPhone 5, I can see how big the box is.


On the side of the box is a letter of "Forty 2", so we decided to open it quickly ......


Paccari.


This is Forty 2. The size is 34 inches (about 86 cm) in width, 30 inches in length (about 76 cm), 5 inches in thickness (about 13 cm) and weighs 60 pounds (about 27 kg). There are no cords included at all, so if you have this main body you can power a variety of things.


If you look closely at the body logo, the letters of "FIRST EDITION" ......


On the side are one plug of power plug and USB port, power switch and power lamp, DC input power supply.


The power lamp is fully charged with green lighting, yellow lighting indicates intermediate charge, red lighting indicates that the battery level is low.


It's a little heavy with one hand, but Pakari is The Forty 2.


This state is like this when it is open. Solar panels are densely packed on one side.


Looking at the solar panel in such a way it looks like this, the surface is bumpy.


With a large amount of solar panels, it is possible to generate 160 ~ 200 W from sunlight, and the maximum output is 750 W.


The body frame part is made of metal, the surface is made of resin type material.


The back of the main body looks like this.


Due to waste heat, parts like meat is taken considerably widely.


A huge waste heat groove on the side.


The accompanying instruction is only with a very simple one. Forty 2 seems to be handled very easily if it is inferred from the quantity of instructions.


This is the procedure to use.


At the prototype stageCan be carried aroundAlthough it was supposed to be used, in the use procedure manual, the picture being carried by the truck to the place of use is drawn ... ... Is this all together?


◆ I tried using
I actually try using Forty 2. It's very easy to use, plug in the device you want to power ... ...


Switch on!


You can easily charge the computer with this alone.


You can see the fact that the computer is actually charged with Forty 2 from the following movie.

The power lamp turned red when it was used for a while, and the alarm sounded as time passed. According to the instructions, this warning tone sounds as the battery level becomes low.


You can see how the actual Forty 2 warning sound looks by looking at the following movie.

Forty 2's warning sound looks something like this - YouTube


I tried using it under the sun
It seems that Forty 2 's battery level is low, so I actually take it outside and try to generate electricity. The possession of Forty 2 was fairly small, and it was heavy weight with one hand, so I managed to carry it a little but I managed to carry it.


Place on the ground ...


Open with electricity and start generating electricity.


It takes 3.75 to 5 hours for Forty 2 to charge the battery, which is quite large size, but the time required for charging is unexpectedly short. But I can not wait that much time ......


Power supply to personal computers and smartphones is started!


You can see the fact that you are actually using Forty 2 to power your PC or smartphone from the following movies.

Although the timing to generate electricity with "Fairly cloudy in midsummer" was not so good, the warning sound that was ringing before generating electricity with Forty 2 ceased in about 5 minutes after the start of electricity generation and it was able to charge the main body battery immediately I understood. While the movie is warning that the battery level is low, we were still able to generate electricity enough to supply power to each connected device.


There is no doubt that it is quite heavy to be carried by one person, but there is no doubt that it can be torn, but the power supply capacity is solid and it is possible to charge by connecting multiple mobile phones or personal computers. Since carrying becomes dramatically easier if it is loaded in a car, there is no doubt that it will provide a comfortable power supply environment that you can not think outside if you take it to an outdoor or picnic.
