When it comes to the Barcelona-based company Arkyne Technologies, The energy is recovered from the photosynthesis of plants and converted into green electricity at the bottom of the flowerpot.
BIOO Lite, the company calls his invention, so to speak, the leaves of the plant use as solar cells. Funding for the whole via crowdfunding on Indiegogo. Your goal of 15,000 euros Arkyne has already reached. For 99 euros you can you currently still secure a BIOO Lite flowerpot.
The plant you buy separately. Basically, you can each commercial plant to plant in the pot, but not all provide the same amount of electricity. Cacti example, are not recommended.
The BIOO Lite pot is 21 times 11 times 11 centimeters tall and comes with a USB port. Whether or microUSB Type-C is not mentioned in the video and on the website but only the older terminal to see.
A plant should be able to deliver as much power, you turning your mobile phone can three times per day. Here you do not have you confined to the hours of sunlight, but can your smartphone refuel at night.
Charging should go as fast in about as if there your smartphone infects the PC. The developers talk of around 3.5 volts and 500 mA. But as I said, it depends on the plant used.
BIOO Lite works only when the plant is still alive. However, you must take care of you, BIOO Lite, no more than a normal plant. Who can forget time casting and enter the plant, can, of course, put a new one in the flower pot.
Besides being BIOO Lite protects the environment, it could be really practical. I would imagine any case, those that are a thing on the balcony, where usually is no outlet nearby. And besides, it's just cool!
How the technology works behind the invention, you said the company in a video:
