POWERSPOT MICRO
MICRO is a small electric generator able
to power and charge several devices,
that will not need any replacement parts
or maintenance.
MICRO is a particularly robust and com-
pact device that can generate an elec-
trical current up to 10W, which is
enough to charge any phone or tablet; it
also can recharge batteries, feed up to
five LED light bulbs connected in par-
allel (especially the ones made by Pow-
erSpot, which are adjusted to the
capacity of this device). Its small
dimensions (6.5 cm diameter and 8.5 cm
high) make it easy to carry in a rucksack
or even in the pocket of your trousers. It
is, therefore, a “personal” power
generator that allows the individualized
administration of power at any time and
place, no matter how remote.
This device to work requires a constant
supply of heat (either gas, kerosene, al-
cohol, wood, hot iron, a vitroceramic
hob etc.) and the supervision of the water
level. Submitted to a flame of 2,000w the
water takes about half an hour to evap-
orate, but if it is placed over an alcohol
burner flame the liquid can take ar
ound
an hour to evaporate. An intense flame
will only be necessary when you need to
light up several light bulbs, but to charge
a mobile phone or tablet a small flame
will be enough.
It is essential to take into account that it
can never be left to dry. Although it is
extremely robust and has been submit-
ted to intense resistance test, the cool-
ing liquid can never be left to dry, the
evaporation of it will make the semicon-
ductors on its interior to melt. To the ef-
fects of the warranty, the knowledge of
the conditions that this device have been
submitted to, and the protection of the
user in relation to manufacturing de-
faults, there is a thermolabile label inside
that will indicate if at any time the device
has been left on the flame without liquid.
The average consumption is 50 gr of
gas, kerosene or alcohol per hour.
Therefore, a bottle of one litre of
kerosene will feed a MICRO during 10
hours at full performance (e.g. charging
an iPad), or almost 40 hours of normal
use (e.g. charging a smartphone or
batteries).
