Creative technology

Sorry a bit late, but still.

On my cycle tour last month I came across a very inventive man, making some money with a small investment.


He had a solar panel feeding into a battery and that battery is used to charge telephones. The battery serves two purposes, to even out the fluctuations to the loaders and of course to keep the power for when the sun is gone.

The loaders are 12volt carloaders but with an output of just two bare adjustable metal strips so he can load anything he wants on it. Apparently the are for sale like that. I love african ingenuity with some chinese technology.
