Energy Station Green
Science Fair Projects

The Energy Station is designed to work with wind turbines and solar panels to power electronic devices. Because you will not leave your electronic devices in wind or under the sun for hours for charging, intermediate rechargeable batteries are connected to this charger for charging first. When the rechargeable batteries are charged, you will then want to connect your electronic devices to the output connector for charging. A regulated 5V DC is output. Boost Up regulator circuitry is used in this charger to convert the input voltage to 5V output. The input voltage range is 1.8V to 3.6V. Input voltage higher than 4.8V will damage the Boost Up regulator circuitry permanently. In order to protect the Boost Up regulator, make sure you install the primary batteries when charging from the external sources or to the electronic devices. The primary batteries also acts as a voltage stabilizer to clamp the input voltage. Features . Input Source 1: Wind Turbine Terminal . Input Source 2: Solar Panel Terminal .
