Agree. It is really just a battery pack - although the solar charger part is a legitmate electricity generator - though would not keep up any large electric usage (like powering your house - refrig, a/c. etc). I have car batteries hooked to a power inverter that can probably out perform this but I don't know the cost difference. Having an automatic car battery charger is easy to keep the batteries at 100% you also have ability to add more batteries(in parallel) to extend the battery "pack" life. As for mobility, this would be a little easier to move around than car batteries and an inverter. What do you bet that a lot of investors initially thought it was actually a "generator" that used some new technology -- like Telsa(original person) power from the atmosphere , etc.

@@BoopSnoot I sold and installed a dozen of UPS's, I'm fully aware of their functionality and purpose. The point is, a normal UPS is not made for "portable" use nor it typically runs for a long time.

The lead acid batteries which are typically used in a UPS are also somewhat dangerous, I'm not sure though what this "Power generator" (Yes it obviously isn't a generator) is using. Hence the device shown in the video is not a typical UPS, even if the basic functionality is identical. The device shown in the video is quite small and lightweight, considering the amount of power which it provides. Also all these USB ports and the possibility to charge it with solar panels in off-grid situation is quite useful. Just as mentioned earlier, the price is too high. You get a very good UPS for a similar price, it won't provide the same functionality out of the box though and will require some configuration (e.g. disable beep).

I am totally on board with solar and batteries(with additional circuitry) storing the electricity and changing it to 120 volts from 12/24 volts... but. I always try to think outside the box and still don't see a "generator". I really like where modern batteries are going. To me, the difference is a generator creates electricity and an battery stores electricity for later use. To me, a battery is what this is. A battery with some electronic circuits added into the same box. The circuits are the bells and whistles that add convenience. I love it but don't see it is "generating" electricity. It is storing and converting electricity. If this was hooked to a solar panel, the panel would be the generator which uses light as fuel. The panel would generate and send the electricity to this battery where it would be stored for later use. Everytime I see someone calling these "generators", I try to view it from their perspective but I still don't get it. Generators don't "store electricity, they produce it by physically moving "parts"? This is a storage device.
@roberthealey72384 жыл бұрын
The distinction in the arguments seems to be hung up on the whole mechanical thing. The mechanical process in old style generators is needed due to the need to extract energy from carbon chains, I.e. gasoline, by using chemical conversion, I.e. combustion. Mechanical conversion is also used in driving turbines with heat or gravity in addition to the small explosions. You can also get electrons to move, I.e. be “generated” by other means, like photo electric effect. How you get 120/240V AC “generated” can be done in non-mechanical ways now, I think this is what is causing the confusion in the use of the term “generator”.

Solar silicon plates are an example of a solar generator. Thermal generators: are generators that transform thermal energy into electricity. Directly convert energy from heat, using it to create energy. Chemical generators: are responsible for converting chemical energy into electrical energy to power different equipment.

It convert stored DC into AC via a sine wave inverter. They've had these for years, They're known as a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). Normally used in conjunction computers and date equipment. Inadvertently they're great surge protection because it isolates the incoming line and if there's a power surge or flicker, your equipment doesn't crash. You just temporarily loose the charging and the utilities in coming AC is isolated from your equipment. Both the inside and outside tests balance the same (roughly 5 amps for 2 hrs or 10 amps for 1 hour) which is a 10 ampere/hour battery. That's kinda light when you can get a 100 amp/hour AGM battery. Good video though

Except that if you have a couple of these in series and a few more solar panels, it could actually keep an emergency house load going for quite a long time. All a "generator" does is CONVERT the stored energy in the fuel that you feed it into useable electricity. Nothing "creates" matter or energy. When you’re burning that gas or diesel, you’re actually losing more energy than you would if you used this unit which Is ultra efficient in comparison. It’s at least a nice backup device when you can’t get to a source of gas to buy so you can constantly refuel a conventional generator.

@johnmeyer773 жыл бұрын
For camping, yes. For power outage, no. The problem, obviously, is that it needs to be re-charged which, during a power outage, requires a generator which brings you back to having a generator. The fast charging is a big plus compared to the older GoalZero units, which I've looked at extensively. The solar panel is going to take DAYS to recharge this from a fully depleted state. You really need a full-sized solar panel which, if you have it, diminishes the need for this. If you do have solar panels, this might be a decent "poor man's Tesla Wall" alternative.

Nice packaging, and not a bad price per performance. The 1300WH unit has a 48V X 27-Ah lithium battery currently selling for $1400. I can replicate this with a 48V ebike battery pack plus inverter/charger, but the slightly extra cost per performance is OK due to how integrated it is for the average consumer.

If you ever run a longer extension than you need, don't leave the excess in a coil!!!! The reason for that is because you're essentially making a transformer with nothing to cool it. If you must coil the excess, do it in a figure-8 so the frequencies cancel each other out. I worked a big charity auction setting up audio/video. Our crew worked 23 hours straight, but there were other crews there. I told my boss that I smelled the electrical kind of smoke. He chastised me for saying it in front of someone important. [Steven Spielberg event], but 10 minutes later, smoke started billowing out from under a temporary stage. Another crew coiled up about 100' of excess cord and it's jacket straight up melted. There you have it. Choose to believe me or not. Figure of 8 saves property and lives.

In terms of essential function both gas and solar generators do the same thing. A gas generator converts gas - a high density energy source , stored in the gas tank- into 120vAC electricity. This solar generator converts less dense energy, stored in it's battery cells into 120vAC electricity. You refuel one by adding gas, the other by solar - or by wall or car battery power.

@Davy Kroket maybe you should go back to school and learn where fossil fuel comes from and what is is actually. Fossil fuel is a form of stored energy that was created by the sun ..that big yellow bright thing in the sky. we dug up the fossil fuel out of the ground and then cleaved the molecules(big word i know) to "refine" that energy into usable things called calories(unit of energy). Then we convert that into things called watts.(another unit of energy). That is how we can figure out electron capacity and usage. Ok enough deep diving im getting the bends(that is from nitrogen...a gas and also an element). Basic science is this. Both are generators. Both convert a form of energy into another form of energy both store energy in a tank and both generate energy when a load is applied to the device. Technically BOTH are GENERATORS. BOTH consume and Both generate. I don't need luck I have science. Also, both fossil fuel and electrons stored in a cell are known as energy sinks (A molecule or a group in a molecule that is able easily to accept energy transferred to it from another component of the system) also known as energy storage. They are just 2 different types of storage that is all.

The fast recharge time makes small scale home or off the grid home solar power a practical reality. You can chain up to 4 of them together, and it's a lot cheaper than Tesla home battery. It also has an 1800 watt draw and 3100 watt peak, only weighs 30 lbs. A carpenter could use it in a remote location to run power tools. You could run lights and sound for music or a wedding or a meeting anywhere, and it makes very low noise compared to a gas generator.

I can see this as being useful for recharging portable devices (cellphones, laptops, flashlights, etc) at night while stringing up a few camp lights, maybe microwave and coffee maker a couple of times a day then recharging it during the day. Would be a lot quieter and less mess than a gas generator. Wouldn’t be sufficient for prolonged, heavy draw items but for little stuff, why not? Looks like a great companion to a gas generator.

For about the same price, EGO(the electric yard tool maker), makes a similar device that stores more than 2x the power and uses the same batteries you would use for your tools. That seems much more useful to me. You may need the battery backup a couple times a year and then it just sits there. At least the EGO product is double purpose.

Great idea. Not nearly enough run time for me to consider using instead of a super quite Honda or Yamaha gas ginny. Those things run 6 to 8 hours using a bit over a gallon of gas and can be refilled in seconds and capable of running another 6 to 8 hours. This thing would need to weigh over 100lbs and have a recharge time of 6 hours minimum to even get close. Nope.

@billykaffadrin4 жыл бұрын
It's a typical Solar Generator as defined by the solar power industry, only better. Better because nothing out there charges as fast, with 400w of solar panels in just 4 hours ( you can use 3rd party panels), or from a 120Vac source in 1.7 hours. And it has a built in MPPT Solar Panel Controller to regulate charging voltages. Typical in that it can charge from solar panels, store the energy and convert it into various electrical formats. Which is how the entire Solar Industry defines a Solar Generator, not just Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes and Ecoflow... Ecoflow is just gong with the flow, they didn't invent the label. Lucky they speak English!
@stormthrush372 жыл бұрын
Supplying 550 watts for a couple hours from full capacity at the cost of $1300 is NOT a generator, and it certainly isn't anything close to an "ultimate home generator." To put this in perspective - this thing doesn't even have enough capacity to run a typical 150 watt laptop for half a day. Since it can charge so quickly this might have some niche use such as not having to put up with the noise of a typical generator round the clock but that's about it.

Through your very well scripted presentation you demonstrate all we need to know to understand the appliance. It is hard to see this as a 'generator' as opposed to a 'battery pack' as it will always need to be charged up by something else. Consider wiring a series of these connected to each other all day with some the addition of some substantial photovotaic surface area, for daily use. Perhaps three of these, a solar photovotaic roof system, AND a Honda gas inverter can be set up to work together in some optimum time and space all-season system. Savvy review.

The generator part is buy connecting the solar panel shown at the end. You could literally stay off grid for ever. The funniest part of all the comments is the bickering over using the word generator. Pointless, solar goes in and power comes out. You can call it converter, generators, accumulator or whatever. The important part is what it does, but i guess it adds to the entertainment.

The solar panels could be described as a generator. However, that panel is an optional addition. The marketing material calls this thing without the panels "DELTA - The New Standard Of Battery-Powered Generator." If you want to call a battery a generator, you might be able to get away with that from a purely scientific POV in that you are still taking chemical energy and converting that into electrical power. However, that isn't really how the term generator is typically understood. The term is especially used when speaking of a device that mechanically coverts energy from one form to another (contains a dynamo). The Delta is no different from a rechargeable battery and an inverter typically known as a UPS or battery backup power. We don't call our UPS units sitting by our desks "generators." Nor the battery in your car, your phone, or your laptop.
