Natural disasters make life stand still. That’s when we truly realize that we are very electric dependent. I’m not saying it’s all a bad thing – it’s not. Sometimes it helps us realize how we miss the simpler things in life. But when you need some power in that situation, the Potenco PCG2 fits the bill.
Basically, the PCG2 is like a giant yo yo that allows you to transform your energy into electrical energy. By simply pulling on the tiny generator for a minute, you can generate enough electricity for:
- 30 minutes of talk time on a mobile phone
- 30 minutes of ultra-bright 1W White LED light
- 2.5 gallons (9.5L) of purified water
The generator features an LED readout with battery protection during generation. Specs:
- 12V Output, limited to 16V
- Typical power generated: 20-40W
- Dimensions: 3 x 4 x 6in / 7.6 x 10.2 x 15.2cm
- Weight: 2lbs/900g
Here’s a video on a variety of their generators that will be available sometime in the future:
