Illumni-Charger uses eco friendly solar power

IllumniCharger is a very interesting device. What it does is cleverly take the technology of solar powered calculators and uses it for our USB devices. It’s definitely a great way to get some juice for your devices. This unique creation is one of the contenders in GE’s ecomagination Challenge. This obviously means that the gizmo must have done something right as GE is funding $200 million to the most innovative and creative companies and individuals using technology to save energy in the home. The eco-friendly technology it uses is definitely commendable.

    I like the look of this charger but it seems a bit light-duty. If you want a more powerful charger I like the Powermonkey Extreme. I did a review of it on my blog here: http://greenergreener.com/powermonkey-extreme-best-solar-charger-review

    Now, there are no hard physics involved in this – how the solar charger works is that it powers up the iPhone through solar panels or through the 2.8 ounce case covering the iPhone’s back and bottom. The charger generates solar power and stores it into the phone’s internal battery. It’s as simple as that. Its slim design considers comfort and use because it can be carried anywhere, anytime. There is one thing to take note of. Because solar power is relatively new as well as the technology itself, it will charge slower as against that of a wall socket or a USB power. In which case, bear in mind that saving the planet takes patience.
