ABOUT US
Potenco’s Pull-Cord Generator (PCG) keeps portable electronic devices working all the time while providing freedom and independence from traditional power sources.Simply hold the PCG in the palm of one hand, pull the cord with the other hand, and generate instant energy. The PCG safely powers rechargeable batteries and provides energy for a variety of critical electronics such as lighting, cell phones, radios, GPS, PDAs, and water purifiers.
A minute of pulling the PCG generates enough energy for:
- 20 minutes of talk time on a mobile phone
- 1 hour of ultrabright LED flashlight use
- 3 hours play time on an iPod Shuffle (about one pull per song)
