Simon Wilby’s “The Smart Juice”
Laptop owners can enjoy a maximum of 6-8 hours of juice hours depending on the laptop model. Unexpected circumstances, however, like getting stuck in a place where there is no wall-socket for miles around have been known to stretch beyond 8 hours. Since laptops are intended for people who are always on-the-go, this contradicts the function of laptops: mobility.
A self-taught inventor and entrepreneur named devised The Smart Juice as a solution to this problem. It was a challenge for since laptop makers manufacture laptops and their batteries as a package, cornering the market in laptop-manufacturing. He created a value-added in his product by making it solar-powered and by ensuring that it can fit any laptop model in use today.
Like ’s “The Smart One” — a solar-powered battery for cell phone being sold by his company, The Smart Power, Inc. — The Smart Juice is so thin, light and inconspicuous that a laptop owner would hardly notice a difference pre and post-installation. It is composed of solar panels inserted behind the laptop screen connected via microscopic wires to the power port. Under 30 seconds is the retrofit-time. Enhancing all the possibilities for mobility of laptops, ’s The Smart Juice will change how people see and use their laptops.
