Device that charges your phone from hot or cold drinks
Your hot cup of coffee in the morning, or cold glass of beer at night, may help refresh you—but that's not all it could do. The Epiphany OnE puck is a coaster that not only protects your table from cup rims, but also charges your smartphone with the help of a hot or cold drink.
The two-sided Epiphany one Puck converts the warmth of your hot cocoa or ice beverage into power for your phone. The lightweight device is portable enough to store in your purse or day bag for emergencies.
Using a small Stirling engine within the device that runs on heat disparities, the Epiphany one Puck siphons and transforms the heat or cold of your hot or cold drinks into power for your phone.
The device has two sides:
1. For placing hot beverages—such as tea, coffee or soup.
2. For cold, such as beer, milkshake or fruit juice.
As your hot drink cools down, or cold drink heats up, on the respective side of the coaster, its Stirling engine would turn and generate electricity to charge your phone. Some variables come into play—such as how hot your hot drink is, and how cold your cold drink is. The more extreme in temperature, the better the energy it provides.Epiphany Labs hope to use the knowledge and experiences gained from perfecting the Epiphany onE Puck to build stirling engines that can power larger appliances and eventually entire households.
It was developed by Epiphany Labs, a group of technologists and business professionals who aim to develop products that create positive changes throughout the world. The Epiphany one Puck uses a stirling engine powered by heat disparities, such as a hot or cold drink, a candle, ice, etc. These heat sources provide enough power to the stirling engine to fully charge a phone battery.
To use this,Simply place your hot drink on the red side of the coaster or your cold drink on the blue side and plug your USB charger into it. The lightweight and portable gadget connects to your iPhone, Android, or similar device.
