Team Member(s): Jonathan Clark, Zachary Douglass, Michael Zimmerman
Semester: Spring 2012

End-Product Description
Charging devices on the go has become more important than ever as technology rapidly advances. Power delivery systems have remained stagnant in the form of electricity hogging wall chargers and inefficient car chargers. We can use energy that is already available to us in the form of the sun and innovate ways to charge our power hungry devices. Ones cellular phone is always on, using power. The solar devices we designed are low-cost, low-weight devices to extend the charge of your cell phone battery without overloading the phone.
