With the worries of nuclear power generation and traditional power generation methods caused by the earthquake in Japan, how to develop and use natural energy such as solar energy wind power has once again put people on the agenda. At this year's Milan International Convention and Exhibition, the wheeled battery “Yill†that can be stored by the German company Younicos, which can store natural energy, has attracted attention.
The Younicos company, which has always advocated the use of renewable energy for power generation and storage, has also implemented this concept on Yill. Yill, which resembles the wheel, is a battery that can convert renewable energy such as solar energy into electricity. Yill specification is 283×526×400mm, rated output power is 300W, maximum output power is 450W per minute, battery capacity is 700Wh, and power storage is quite awesome.
In order to make it easier for people to carry around, Yill was designed to be a wheel that can be easily taken away. In addition, under Yill's design, a flashlight-like lamp is also designed. An outlet for AC power and a USB port for power supply are installed on the top of the lamp. It is very convenient to use Yill to charge everyday equipment, similar to earthquake disasters. Occasionally, it can supply power.
Yill can convert renewable energy into electricity through a dedicated charging station. Of course, you can also use a regular power outlet to charge it. Yill is safer and more convenient than conventional lithium-ion batteries, charging fast and working longer hours.
In fact, Yill was not created for the purpose of disaster prevention. Its predecessor, "E-Shuttle", was a power supply battery designed for offices. Yill, which inherited the "E-Shuttle" design concept, was actually more inclined to be an office and family. Provide new power supply mode. The reason why traditional energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy cannot be used for large-scale promotion and utilization is one of the reasons that these renewable energy sources are greatly affected by climate conditions and cannot provide stable power supply for a long time. But after using solar energy to charge Yill for 4 hours, Yill can support computers and other equipment on two workstations to run for 2 to 3 days.
Younicos also hopes that Yill can change the office landscape in the future. Offices that use Yill for power supply are freed from the restrictions of traditional layouts relying on power cords, and the layout of offices has become more freedom, which can be said to be quite futuristic design.
Yill's design concept map, see the familiar Star Wars robot R2D2 it? It is said that Yill was originally inspired by R2D2 ^^
Yill is scheduled to produce for sale during the year. In addition to Yill, Younicos also exhibited more facilities using renewable energy at the Milan International Convention and Exhibition, such as "Yoe" for home power supply, "Yana" for charging home electric vehicles, and ID identification function. As well as the "Island System" that supplies a large area for a specific area. Through Younicos's exhibition, perhaps we can already have a glimpse of the new model of power in the future society.
