A car alternator will normally charge a battery at 14 volts while the engine is operating. One inventive maker had an epiphany: the same technology might be adapted to do a lot more when connected to running water. John from FarmCraft101 wanted to try his hand at repurposing a conventional car alternator. He disassembled the stator and manually rewound each coil to boost the output to 200 volts, or more if possible. As a result, the technology now powers a piece of his workplace from a pond hundreds of feet away, cutting line losses that would otherwise kill a standard 12-volt system.
Segway designed the Cube 1000 power station, priced at $330 (was $500), around a 1024Wh LiFePO4 battery, which can last for over 4,000 charge cycles without significantly losing capacity, equating to around a decade of regular operation. The starting capacity is 1 kWh, but customers can connect up to four additional 1 kWh expansion packs wirelessly, with no wires required, for a total of 5 kWh as needed.
