The 1 ton device has a host of solar panels, three to be precise, each generating 200 watts of power each. The generated power is stored onto the powercube’s 6, 200amp-hr batteries to give you power when you need it the most. Perfect for the NatGeo and Discovery channel crews. To make it that bit more rugged to take on tough conditions, the powercube is waterproof and with a considerable weight of 1 ton, I don’t see too many other problems that the powercube will have to face. To give it that take-anywhere capability, it can work both on and off the grid. The powercube doesn’t make any noise, nor heat up the environment, and even doesn’t emit anything, thus making it a very eco-friendly device, not that it wasn’t one in the first place.
Another plus about the PowerCube is that when people are given a fixed amount of anything (in this case electricity) they tend to pay attention to how they use it. Focusing on needs vs. wants, this creates an important lesson in energy use, ie. I need to turn on the computer to do some work vs. I want to turn on the computer to see the Cubs score. Anytime we are made aware of our patterns of consumption we become more responsible consumers.
