Window Socket: A solar charger that sticks to windows
A solar panel, some wiring and a five volt regulator should be enough to charge a smartphone via USB, but if you've been thinking about something more elaborate, the Window Socket concept not only uses solar power when attached to the window , but proposes to convert it for use through an integrated outlet .
You must not go too far. A brief visit to the Instructables website and search "DIY solar charger" will present dozens of projects that are not so complicated to perform. Still, I understand the ancestral fear of soldering iron, and for many people, the DIY is simply not an option. Although there are many solar accessories ready to use on the market, being a "solar" means going outside. However, the concept Window Socket nothing requires it to stick to the window . Yes, in the same way you can hang ornaments windows using suction cups (also known as sopapas in some areas) , Window Socket is installed without the need for additional supports, while its panel integrated receives solar energy through crystal.
The main difference between Window Socket and other similar accessories is the presence of an electrical outlet. Thanks to this, it would be the responsibility of the user to convert solar energy to something compatible with typical boots. According to the design, the Window Socket also has a battery inside, but that's when their limitations are beginning to emerge. Apparently, their capacity is 1000 mAh, delay between five and eight hours to fully recharge, and autonomy is ten hours. One of the creators of Window Socket, Kyuho Song, explained that the concept failed to overcome some technical challenges . The original design dates back to 2010, and may use a traditional outlet is not something feasible in that size with those specifications. However, with almost 800 comments on the official website (many suggest replacing the outlet with one or two USB ports) , there is no doubt that there is some interest in the product.
