Energy from the sun and muscles: Canadian engineers have developed a new device for home microgrids
The device, capable of storing and storing energy, was created by the architectural firm WZMH Architects and Ryerson University. Its main task is to organize a home micro-network.
The design looks similar to an exercise bike, supplemented by a solar panel. It is enough for a person to sit on it and start pedaling to generate electric current for electronics, lighting and household devices.
It is noted that when riding a bicycle, a person is able to develop power indicators, which are enough to illuminate a small room for several days.
Solar panels and other sources of electrical current can also be connected to the device. This is possible thanks to built-in photographic plates created by French specialists.
The compact dimensions of the design make it convenient for wall mounting. Therefore, it is one of the best options for portable powering of individual microgrids. At the same time, a chain of connections can be created between individual "simulators", which will make the house truly smart.
Therefore, instead of hundreds of generators in homes, such portable devices can be placed. It is economical in terms of generating electric current. And good for health - prevention of physical inactivity.
The company is also working on portable air purifiers. Both devices are expected to hit stores in a year or so.
Exercise bikes, but without solar panels, can also be purchased on the OXO website. The section "Trainers and accessories" contains active lots that are updated daily.
