HydroPower Charger

A 5V DC power source from a hydro-turbine!

I chose this project because daily life often brings us outdoors. A lot of the activities that are done outside don’t keep us close to a reliable source of power, and getting lost without a light or phone often leads to a dangerous situation.


Hydro-power will come in handy if you find yourself needing power at night. There are many solar-power chargers on the market but if you don’t think ahead to charge up in the daylight, you could be out of luck.

  • Easily adaptable in emergency situations (home, outdoors, etc.)
