The eClipse is a portable solar USB charger that can power multiple devices at once -- both during the day and during the night. eClipse In The News: Solar Backpacking - "The eClipse works straight out of the box. Plug in your device and you're ready to go." Ecochunk - "Juan Moncada has come up with the eClipse -- a versatile solar powered charger that can charge multiple gadgets at once, not only during the day but even after dark." Background: The idea for the eClipse was born after Superstorm Sandy hit the East Coast in October. Having family there, I felt helpless because there was nothing I could do from my home in California, except wait for a phone call to find out if everything was okay. Thankfully my family was fine, but my thoughts turned to all the other people who weren't able to communicate with their loved ones because they didn't have power. On the internet, it seemed that every article I read had images of people huddled around extension cords and power outlets, trying to charge cell phones and electronic devices that had run out of battery. That's when inspiration struck me. The Concept: I came up with the eClipse, a portable solar product with multiple USB ports to charge multiple cell phones and electronic devices at once. It also has the ability to be used day or night. This way, if a power outage or emergency situation were to occur, a whole family could charge their cell phones at once using solar energy, any time of day. I went through several prototypes before settling on a form-factor similar to a miniaturized version of a rooftop solar panel, with a strong build that can stand up to heavy portable use. The Materials: The eClipse is solidly built with the following materials: Shock absorbent polyethylene housing High-efficiency crystalline solar panel High life-cycle energy bank with lithium-polymer batteries Custom designed PCB controller circuit board High-efficiency crystalline solar panels are more expensive, but I chose this technology because of its power. In just 3 hours you can recharge the eClipse to 75% and in 5 hours to 100%. 圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙 圙 .....♕ Support Channel - Subscribe to Us ♕ ...... 圙 圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙 圙♔ Поддержите канал - Подпишитесь на нас ♔圙 圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙圙
