POWERSPOT NANO
NANO is a small electric generator able
to power and charge several devices,
that will not need any replacement parts
or maintenance.
NANO 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 mini-
tablet; it also can recharge batteries,
feed up to five LED light bulbs
connected in parallel (especially the
ones made by PowerSpot, which are
adjusted to the capacity of this device).
Its small dimensions (6.5 cm diameter
and 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 15 minutes to
evaporate, but if it is placed over an
alcohol burner flame
the
liquid can take
around an half 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 NANO 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).
