Our lives are increasingly dominated by technology - not just at home and work, but on the move as well. This means we need to have a constant and reliable supply of energy. The trouble with small, portable devices is that they use very small batteries, which don't last very long.



Self-powered mechanical devices have been around for over two hundred years - automatic watches. In recent decades, the concept of using mechanical power to charge an electronic watch has become more common. And there are other ideas, like wind-up radios, and flashlights which can be charged by shaking them.



ArcSling LLC is pushing this kind of technology further and into wider use with the development of the Arcsling Motion Converter. The watches and flashlights just mentioned only need tiny amounts of power to keep them running, but Arcsling has produced a compact generator that provides 20 watts of power output. This kind of power level means you can use it to charge your phone or tablet anywhere, anytime. And you could charge both at once, because there are two USB charging outlets on the Motion Converter.

How It Works



The Arcsling Motion Converter is designed to convert a swinging motion, produced by carrying the device, directly into electricity. It's also possible to use a push-pull action for manual power generation. The unit has a 12V output as well as the two 5V USB sockets.



If you like to spend time on the water, then Arcsling have a couple of additions to help. One is an "Onboard Wave Energy Converter", which can be towed behind the vessel to produce power. This accessory could also be used in running water as a mini hydro-electric generator. There is also the "Offshore Wave Energy Converter" - as the name suggests, it is designed to use the movement of waves to create electricity.



When people go "off-grid" for a short while, they often take compact solar panels to try and top up mobile devices like phones, GPS's, and camera batteries. With the Arcsling, you can charge devices at night, or inside a tent or caravan. All you need is to be able to swing the device a little, to let the generator work its magic. You can hang it up and use a gentle push-pull motion to charge batteries or power your lights.
