My iPhone Just Got Cranked – No Really, Gridcase Reactor is working On a Prototype.
Don’t you wish that when your iPhone 5 died you could just plug it into one of the several 30-pin adapters you probably have lying around collecting dust? I know I do. But what I really wish is that in-case I forgot my charger I could just some-how charge it, even if I was say – camping, water-skiing, riding a donkey to the top of mount Everest, ..you get the point.
Well..
The time has come!
Gridcase reactor has created such a device that allows you to charge your iPhone 5 with no power, aside from the power you “Crank” into your phone yourself. Gridcase describes the Reactor in the following statement,
“The Reactor utilizes a patent-pending, ultra-thin generator to enable users to manually charge the battery of their iPhone 5 when wall outlets are unavailable. The Reactor is designed to provide an all-important power boost when critical data must be retrieved or essential communication becomes necessary.
Since the Reactor is embedded into the phone’s case, there’s never a circumstance where the phone is without power. A small built-in battery provides enough of a boost to revive a dead phone, while manually cranking the generator can extend the battery life of the iPhone indefinitely.”
Here’s a video on how the device could work.
