Solarpuff - flashlight on solar batteries, built on the principles of origami

The earthquake in Haiti in 2010, led by Professor Alice Min Su Chang (Parsons New School for Design, USA) to reflect on the creation of a light source, which would be self-contained, compact, and can be used in extreme conditions. After several years of work it was created Solar Puff - a modern device that combines solar energy, new technologies and principles of origami

.


With his weight of 74 grams, the device uses a lithium-polymer battery with more than 1,000 charge cycles. The duration of time is dependent on its charge, for example, after 5 hours the sun shines it 5-8 hours after eight - up to 12 hours of continuous light. The flashlight contains 10 LED-light-emitting diodes, which operate in three modes.



A flashlight can be decomposed to the size of 11 by 11 cm and folded in a thickness of 64 mm. Solar Puff is made of non-toxic and transparent PET material, it is completely safe for health and can be recycled.

Flashlight has turned out ideal for evening walks, cycling or rollerblading, it can be used in the country or in rural areas - where there is not enough main light. Given that the flashlight is waterproof, it can be used in rain and in wet conditions, for example, you can take him into the boat while fishing.



It is ideal for interior decoration and can challenge the ordinary table lamp. The attractiveness and functionality of the Solar Puff, as well as the low price makes it a great gift to your friends, employees or management.



Solar Flashlight Solarpuff can be used for decorative purposes, and in case of accidents in electrical equipment, as well as for the global replacement of kerosene lamps, which are currently the main source of light in the poor countries and refugee camps, as it was intended from the outset. After all, the main mission of the company Solight Design, which produces Solarpuff, is to direct part of the funds received from the sale of products, to subsidize the purchase of torches for the needs of those who really do not have enough clean and resistant light in the darkness.
