Billions in Change Alternative Electric Power Solution

[gotoluc]

Thanks for your posts.

I will be making a new video to better demonstrate how truly practical this device is and we will compare it to the newest device the Billions in Change foundation have come up with for the Indian community.

Stay tuned

do you have a link to the Billions in change device ?

here is something which makes sense for lighting with LED's [flea power]
basically a clock mechanism .

Yes Chet,

here is a link to a India TV interview that goes over what Manoj's organization is doing and also demonstrate the latest cycling generator suggested for the Indian market that should retail for around $300.
Notice the footprint and cost.
The device we are suggesting can be folded away in a corner so the limited space they have in Indian homes can be used and the bicycle to turn the generator can be used for transportation.
This can all be done for less than $100. as we figure the actual mass manufacturing would be between $40. to $50. per unit.

Interesting how Manuj says so many times they are looking to make things simple and practical

Luc,
I can't help but think of all the treadmills with DC motors that get discarded where I live and sent to dumpsites.  Perhaps an even cheaper solution for generators.
Also, do you think a bank of caps could substitute for a battery?

A person at rest presents a 40 watt light bulb to the world.

If he exerts himself he can summon up another 60 watts without too much trouble.

That wattage could be represented by riding a bicycle around 15 MPH.

That 60 watts, for one hour, represents 60 watt hours stored in standard automobile battery.

For a third world country that energy in the battery presents conventional light and working electricity when the battery is coupled to LEDs, 5 volt converter for phone/ipad charging or an inverter to generate conventional 120 volt ac.

In a non-third world situation, where obesity in youth is a concern,tying television, games etc. to a similar arrangement would lead the individual to exercise as a price to play with his/her toys.

This arrangement can get into the market well under $100.00and  using an existing bicycle and an existing battery.

Put this combination into the open market lets see what happens.

It is thumbs up product.

Good luck!

Thank you Eric for posting your thoughts and opinion on this electric generator design.

Looking forward to more discussions
