Street Charge, our solar powered USB charger, has been installed in DUMBO’s Pearl Street Triangle. Not only does it charge your phone and tablet, but it also provides some much needed shade. With free WiFi, picnic tables, and food vendors already in the area, Street Charge makes the Triangle the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. Take a break and come charge up!

Putting on the finishing touches!

We’re putting together the first Street Charge prototype! Street Charge is a solar powered USB Charger. We’ll be testing it in the DUMBO Triangle next week, so be sure to keep an eye out for its release and come check it out! In the meantime, some pictures:

This is a quick video on how to assemble the DIWire. The parts list (BOM - Bill of Materials), 3D Files and code are all available on the Google code site:
code.google.com/p/diwire
A quick note - this is a alpha prototype. There are many ways to improve it. For instance, the wire straightener was good enough for now, but if you google wire straightener, you’ll see how its usually done. Also, the motors we “spec’ed” are the ones we found in a bin in our shop. They are pricey because they are real accurate, but not so powerful. Right now, with these motors can only bend 1/8” aluminum rod, and the 3D printed parts also would need to get stronger in order to bend more substantial material. So, if you make one and improve upon it, let us know, we’ll post your improvements for everyone else to see.
Enjoy!
