With the newly regenerated focus on Greening up the world due to the poor economy, it isn’t unexpected for a variety of new technologies focused on helping people lower their carbon footprints to make a strong showing. Some of these devices allow you to use a manual crank to charge up a battery, while others have solar panels built into device cases.
Another way to help reduce carbon footprints is to eliminate the constant drain created by over charging devices. The Green Gadget Charging station provides you with 13 different types of adaptors for charging mobile devices from cell phones to cameras to MP3 players. The Green Gadget Charging station does one simple thing: it charges your devices. But it also monitors the battery charge levels of those devices, and stops charging them as soon as your battery records that it is fully charged.
Admittedly this might not be a huge difference in a household electrical bill, but it adds up over time and over a country. For instance, if a charger uses its full 5Vof output for 8 hours, it would take approximately 0.032KWh to charge a phone. If power costs $0.20/KWh then charging a single cell phone costs approximately $0.0064 cents every time a phone is charged. If Portland has even 500,000 cell phones in use, it will cost $32,000 per month for every cell phone in Portland to be charged just every three days. That creates a bill of $204,800 for the entire state of Oregon each and every month. And of course, that leaves a bill of $19,661,575.87 every month for the United States.
Wouldn't it be nice to know that mobile devices are not running up huge electrical bills for the country?
