Glendora Emergency Response Communications Discussions Pull Cord Generator (PCG) 11-24-2007 I came across this interesting development that seems to be the ideal EmComm power supply for field emergency use; the Pull Cord Generator (PCG). Unfortunately, it isn’t commercially available at this time. It is one of the latest efforts to convert human energy into electrical energy. It is a pull-string dynamo that can be combined with other recent technologies (e.g. gen 3 LEDs) so that 1 minute of string pulling can provide nearly 60 minutes of LED light---and the gen 3 LEDs can produce more light than a typical kerosene lantern without the associated health and fire hazards. If you sign up for their newsletter, you can get announcements about the upcoming commercial release of this very exciting product. http://www.potenco.com/contact-us To see and learn more about this interesting device, check out the following links: Introduction to the Potenco power generator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2OWEAMLKBQ&feature=related Close-up demonstration http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOQAY5u6GUc&feature=related Photo of the PCG http://www.potenco.com/wp-content/themes/potenco/images/home/3_smaller_on_purple.jpg -By KI6GIG |
