Our device YoGen® is a slim pocket-size hand-powered electric charger driven by repeated pulling a cord in a similar to Yo-Yo string. While the self-returning cord is repeatedly pulled by the user, an internal alternator spins continuously, and thereby generates power allowing for recharging the batteries used by any PDA and especially cell-phone while the user can keep using them, e.g. `staying on talking`..
Since human-power source is actually unlimited and permanently available- no additional batteries to dispose of or extra weight to carry.
YoGen® is based on a unique extremely slim patented high-efficiency "on-board" alternator integrated with an energy-saving electronic stabilizer allowing for a palm-sized device which provides a quick recharge for any device adapted for charging from 5VDC chargers: cell-phones, GPS, iPOD, MP3, MP4, etc.
The second device we are developing, YoGen MaxT (coming in soon) will provide enough power for laptops and their accessories, professional camcorders, etc. Unlike YoGenT it will be driven by the user's foot in order to provide a long charging without body weariness and interference with main user work.
Virtually everyone these days is mobile: everyone carries at least one battery-powered device, and often they have a bag-full of these power-hungry devices.
One out of two North Americans carries a cell-phone. MP3 player, iPOD and similar music systems are owned and used by virtually everyone under 40. Game decks, electronic toys and organizers are everywhere and many of us carry laptops and equipment ranging from GPS units to pocket camcorders. Keeping all these batteries fully charged and conditioned presents a real problem. They all use a lot of energy, depleting batteries rapidly. Often the battery dies and the charger is at home or in the office or there is no AC outlet available. Many people try to make do with a handful of ordinary AA and AAA batteries.
For most cell-phone users, the only way of charging their battery is through the cell-phone itself. The units are not meant to be routinely opened for battery exchange which is usually the case with PDAs and camcorders etc.
For millions of laptop users, a spare battery is simply too much extra weight and often gets left behind in the office or hotel. For some of the other types of gadgets, batteries may not be replaceable or accessible to the user without disassembling the device. Even if it was practical, this would void any product warranty.
Now there are new devices - chargers that are small and light enough and can handle all devices that is to recharge low batteries in any situation.
