SUGGESTIONS
Lanyard
can work placed over hot sur-
faces such as a barbecue, a hot plate, a
heater and a victroceramic hob. In fact, it
requires less heat than a direct flame be-
cause these will dissipate heating regu-
larly on the base of the device.
If placed over a stove it can charge mo-
biles, as long as the temperature of the
surface reaches 120oC. However, giv-
en that each heater is different, it is nec-
essary to test its capacity to activate the
Lanyard
in situ.
Over a vitroceramic hob it can work
amazingly well. Although it looks like
nonsense to use an electric hob to ac-
tivate a power generator,
Lanyard
can
be used if there is not another socket in
the room.
If you use it over a barbecue it is better
to place it over the griddle. It will provide
several square metres of light in the open
air through a simple electric installation.
Lanyard provides a 9W light point
(around 800 lumens). However, it can
slightly light up at least ten points, which
is usually enough for a family house. Ev-
ery time you add a light bulb the voltage
will be reduced slightly, therefore you will
have more light points but with lower in-
tensity.
All
PowerSpot
thermoelectric generators
can be connected in a series or in par-
allel, increasing therefore the total avail-
able power for the same circuit. If you
wish to fit this kind of installation,
Pow-
erSpot
offers the adequate peripher-
al cable.
Although the handle is made of steel and
recovered with insulating material, you
must be careful when touching it. It will
not burn the skin but it might be very hot
from the heat emitted by the recipient.
