I forgot to cancel my date. The

battery of my cell phone is
empty! Could I use yours ?

Hi, everything's fine ?

Yeah, what about you ?

Sorry, mine's empty

too.

What should I do now ?

There is my flat. You can use
our phone, you got the
number?

Tell me!

We build an accumulator,
which is rechargeable by
my moves during sports.
This accumulator could
charge the cell phone.

Yes, great, thanks !

... I have an idea !

This would be
very useful
lets try!

Research topics

1. Little effort + green energy = enough energy to

recharge a cell phone battery ?

2. Design of a suitable adapter for an intelligent

network?

Structure
1. The forces of nature
1.1 Wind- & Water power
2. The forces of humans
2.1 The bicycle dynamo
2.2 The Lorentz force shaker

3. The MultiChAcc
4. Outlook

Conclusion: The wheel does not produce enough energy to

load the accumulator.

Factors for a high energy level:
1. Frequency
2. Efficiency of the dynamo

Conclusion: Is the frequency high enough we produce enough

power to charge the accumulator directly.

Lorentz force shaker: Setup

Induced voltage depends on:

1. Shaking rate
2. Number of turns in the coil
(we used 20000)
3. Magnetic field strength.

- Diode

MultiChAcc: Setup
Outside
solar panels
- in series
- 6 V to 14 V, 20 mA

Inside
additional diode

MultiChAcc: Gadgets

NFC tags
USB port

MultiChAcc: First Tests

Charging the accumulator

Charging a smartphone
Charging all smartphones

Outlook
1. Wind and water wheel

- Voltages of some mV
usage of the stepup
2. Bicycle dynamo, Solar power and Lorentz force shaker
- Voltages of a few Volts
The accumulator is
charged directly

3. The MultiChAcc
- Opitimization: smaller plastic cover, fix the elements, LED

The MultiChAcc
is the solution!

Thanks for your

attention.
