Aye bro...was this plug and play? Like you take it out the box and plug in a usb and start cranking? And if you wanted to could you charge to 100% if you didnt mind being there cranking for a hot minute???
The problem with charging a cell phone is a cell phone only takes about 5-15 watts meaning most of your energy is going to waste. If you hooked this up to a portable powerstation capable of accepting 60 watts or higher youd get the FULL benefit. Me? I have a set up where I use a tenergy brand powerstation model number T320. It has a 45watt or higher type acceptance port,so if you hooked it up to the zeus dynamo you'd get the full benefit of the hand crank! So instead of getting the benefit of only a measly 8 watts you can crank for about 2 minutes and it'll put your phone from dead to about 6%!!
But if your phone supports faster charging does it charge faster or what if your phone support still charging but has a way bigger battery because it says 60 W USB-C which only some android phone support
The speed of charging depends on the limits of the device and you can charge faster by turning faster up to the limits of the device you are charging. Cell phones that are built for fast charging can accept more watts per minute.
And should be only 10% of price cuz diy shows that it's cheaper things inside they should make it to possible to adapt wide range rather than available to few and High price to profit themselves and enjoy luxury life out of it
@@johnlewisbrooks even with a pedal it'd suck. it'd be fine for short periods of time, but a 100Wh battery (which isn't that big) would still take a full hour to charge. these devices aren't meant to generate lots of power. they're only meant for emergencies
@@76okpeople Yea would be nice with some test on the output for sure to see how things works out :) I'm looking around for alternative energy sources as I want to cut off the tyrants of the wire companies.
Ones that have a bi-directional USB C port would work. Off the top of my head, the Runhood Modular Power Station has a 100w bi-directional USB C port. So it could make full use of this hand crank generator.
I like this guy's dramatization of an emergency situation. "Help, somebody call the helicopter. Get to the choppa'!!!"
Arnold Schwarzenegger in the predator get to the choppa 😁

bruh? most modern phones have fast charging 35-80 watts. the heck you're talking about?
@unkndude most cords do not though.
@johnlewisbrooks most cables do though. And very cheap too
That looks awesome! How much did it cost?
You can get it through Amazon right now it’s $330 made in USA
@@76okpeople
Cool man, thanks!
$360

To my experience , it Chargers normal speed. But it is still good enough for emergency phone call
The speed of charging depends on the limits of the device and you can charge faster by turning faster up to the limits of the device you are charging. Cell phones that are built for fast charging can accept more watts per minute.
What they need to do is invent one capable of charging a huge battery quickly at at least 100 watts.

@@HybridWatchers Agreed. 330$ is NUTS.
are you physically fit enough for that?
@@cvspvr it would suck and might need a pedal but yes.

could you check the output? Can it easily reach 2 amps?
That’s a great question, I am going to, and I will make a video thank you friend

@@darkijah-andersjehovahsn7893at 12 volts, it'll do 5 amps, assuming you're cranking it fast enough
I was able to get 3.5 amps, really easy, really fast I was able to get 5 amps
Wonder if there is a solar generator that has a port to charge this way?
Ones that have a bi-directional USB C port would work. Off the top of my head, the Runhood Modular Power Station has a 100w bi-directional USB C port. So it could make full use of this hand crank generator.
They're are plenty of portable solar chargers out there.
@@ghost6sick yeah but not all have the port mentioned above
Where is the link?
Hi buddy, you sound like Snoop Dogg talking...
😁
This has been out of stock for a while on Amazon. I hope it comes back soon.
Sorry to hear that friend, maybe try contacting the company directly
it's back in stock
Needs supercapacitors?
It has super capacitors inside
I'd use it on a power bank and not on my phone directly
Yes ,that’s what I’m gonna do too
