Godson has asked for the support of Off-Grid Specialist Phaesun GmbH to develop an optimum design and cabling for his autonomous power supply system. Convinced by the project, the enterprise which is situated in Memmingen has sponsored the underwater project with an energy storage system and an innovative lighting project including four solar lamps. “We have tested Gordon’s bicycle in our company and designed the power supply for the lighting and the operation of a note book”, Phaesun Managing Director Tobias Zwirner explains. The Off-Grid specialist from Memmingen has connected a solar module directly with four extremely economic and efficient Sundaya Ulitium LED lamps over a junction box. Eight kilojoule energy per hour are sufficient to achieve 240 lumen of light output for six hours. The electronic system and a lithium-ion storage battery are already integrated in the lamps.
The energy generated by cycling is therefore transferred over an energy storage system to Godson’s note book, his medium to communicate with the outside world.
„It was particularly the scientific aspect to the project that piqued our interest“, Tobias Zwirner explains. Phaesun e.g. also sponsors solar systems to convey Off-Grid power supply to students in their physics lessons. While a NASA bioengineer hopes that the LEGOLAND park world record attempt is useful to gain new insights for the construction of underwater colonies, the international organisation of diving medicine physicians Divers Alert Network will examine the effects of long-time diving on the flow characteristics of blood.
