Will Electric Vehicles Benefit From The Old Battery Of The Notebook?

Kenya physics teacher Paul Waweru has been helping local delivery drivers save money, raise awareness of sustainable development and reduce emissions in the process. All routing comes from an inconspicuous cheap and old technology, which can be found in almost any second -hand shops or garbage dumps around the world. In his hometown of Kenya, these things are easy to get and are becoming a long -term choice of mobile -these are laptop batteries. They are not only conducive to the environment, but the battery is also easy to purchase in Kenya. Therefore, for residents who need to move around, they are a long -term choice.
Think about one day your old laptop may be discarded, and the battery is stripped and one can be modified by a way that can be modified to be separated by electric bicycles and supply power to electric bicycles. This may be unimaginable before, but now now Your old laptop battery can only be used for this purpose.
All of this began with the problem of Mr. Waweru's electric motorcycle and stopped working, which caused him to be unable to go to work. Therefore, as a keen amateur inventor, he came up with a novel solution to make the best use of abandoned laptop batteries.
He explained some ideas and setbacks that caused him to make breakthroughs: "No one in Kenya sells electric bicycles, so I have to import one. Then, after a few months, because of this technology, the battery will no longer work. I have been banned again. Yes. Through my innovation, I can purchase low -cost batteries. This is why I finally came into contact with the laptop battery. So how does the laptop battery work on an electric bicycle?

First of all, WAWERU purchases old laptop batteries from the local suppliers of Nairobi for about $ 0.40. Then, he used his wisdom in his workshop to separate the remaining working batteries from the battery that is no longer working -created a reusable battery.
The newly formed battery can be fully charged in just 45 minutes, much faster than the original battery, and can provide motivation for a journey of about 100 kilometers.
Waweru also collects the old motorcycle frame, replaces the original engine with batteries and motors, and uses 60V DC power. His invention ECOMOBILUS bicycle is much cheaper than traditional motorcycles, and it is easier to run and maintain.
He explained, "Compared with refueling, charging is much cheaper. For completely charging, we say that the cost we use is less than $ 3 [2.76 euros], and for Bodabodas -Kenya motorcycle taxi, they eventually spend more than a day more than a day exceeded more $ 7 [6.44 Euros] to run the same bicycle. "
WAWERU set up a company called ECOMOBILUS to supply his laptop battery power supply bicycle. It turns out that this also saves Kenya's delivery drivers without refueling.
One driver John Mwangi, a driver who has already used ECOMOBILUS 6 months, said, "Another is expensive in terms of fuel, but electric ... It is very efficient, I saves fuel -I no longer use fuel. I only consume [ Ksh] 200 (1.48 euros) tokens. "
The transportation department generates a quarter of the global greenhouse gas emissions, half of which come from private vehicles, including cars and trucks. Electric vehicles help reduce this huge pollution output -and reduce toxic air pollution produced by fossil fuel vehicles. His electric bicycles can also use solar charging, which promotes clean energy and climate protection.
After Kenya Electric Power Corporation announced its plans to set up a charging point in different locations across the country, his invention will also shine. Kenya Electric Power Corporation applied for a new special tariff, which stipulated new costs of customers using electric vehicles.
Executive Director Geoffrey Muli explained that new enterprises will increase their clients and increase income to dilemma. With the increase of demand, Waweru intends to increase production, which will also help the country to solve the problem of fuel shortage.
