Mobile chargers up to 7800 mAh

29.01.2013

PNY Technologies has announced the launch of the PowerPack series of mobile chargers. The series includes models with a capacity of 2600, 5200 and 7800 mAh. With the PNY PowerPack, you can extend the battery life of your USB-powered mobile devices. This, in particular, is about smartphones, tablets, e-books and players.

Compact power supplies are enclosed in aluminum cases, equipped with switches and displays showing the charge level. The kit includes a 50 cm cable with micro-USB connectors. You can also connect an Apple cable to the PowerPack to charge your iPhone, iPod or iPad. The battery of the PowerPack itself is also charged from a USB port, which can be a laptop connector, a stationary PC, a charger for a stationary or car power supply.

The 7800 mAh and 5200 mAh PNY Power Pack models have two outputs each, allowing you to charge the batteries of two mobile devices at once. The maximum currents that these outputs can supply to a load are 2,1 and 1 A. The prices of these models are $80 and $60, respectively.

The PNY Power Pack model with a capacity of 2600 mAh has one output, designed for current up to 1 A. The price of this model is $40. The warranty period for any of the three PNY PowerPack models is one year.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Jaw movement generates electricity 18.09.2014

Canadian scientists have created a "smart" strap that can convert and store mechanical energy from jaw movements (for example, in the process of chewing gum). The accumulated energy in the future can be used to power electronic devices.

To generate electricity, the device uses a polymer material with piezoelectric properties. When stretched and compressed, a potential difference arises in the material, and an electric current appears in the circuit. The strap is attached to the lower jaw with headphones and special devices. When the jaw moves, the strap stretches and contracts, resulting in an electrical current.

According to scientists, only during meals, such a device can develop an average power of up to 7 mW. The researchers found this out during experiments in which they asked participants to chew gum. Experts concluded that the power developed by the strap is too small to power modern electrical appliances. But they are going to eliminate this drawback by increasing the number of layers of piezoelectric material in the strap.

In particular, according to scientists, 20 layers of piezoelectric material with a total thickness of 6 mm will be enough to obtain an output power of 200 microwatts, which is enough to power a hearing aid.

The piezoelectric material is the most expensive constructive part of the apparatus, the cost of which is about $20 per prototype. Scientists believe that the purchase of a "smart" strap will be more profitable than buying conventional disposable batteries: it will be able to justify the investment in about 3 years. In addition, the developers pay attention to the reduced negative impact on the environment in the case of using an unusual device compared to traditional batteries.

According to experts, a "smart" strap can be useful for providing electricity to various miniature devices, incl. implants and low-power gadgets. In the future, engineers plan to equip the strap with a special chip that will control the power circuits.
