Applications - Powerspot Explorer Home KIT-EXPL-HOME Manual Del Usuario

APPLICATIONS

A. Mobile phones, tablets and rechargeable
batteries. A small USB converter must be con-
nected to the device 12v outlet. The Explorer
will be able to charge some of these simultane-
ously, for which it will be necessary a USB HUB
or multiple socket. These devices indicate when
they are being charged and their charging ca-
pacity. The charging time is identical to the one
obtained from a usual domestic power supply.
B. Lighting. The LED light bulbs designed by
PowerSpot light up with a very low voltage. If
you use one (or three), each will shine with the
same intensity than an incandescent 80w light
bulb. However, they are designed to activate
with less voltage than the necessary, and there-
fore they can be connected in parallel, at any
distance and up to twenty light bulbs. This al-
lows lighting up simultaneously several rooms in
the same house (the more light bulbs are add-
ed, the lower they will shine), or taking light –
through very simple wiring – to further points at
the same time and with minimum consumption.
C. Electrical Appliances. Today there are multi-
ple electrical appliances that work through USB
connection to the computer. Any of those ap-
pliances will work perfectly if connected to Ex-
plorer. Also, small 12v devices can also be pow-
ered. For example, portable fridges such as
Peltier, small radios or portable TV sets, fans,
rechargeable lamps, etc.
D. Water Pump. This application requires maxi-
mum power from Explorer. Once the device has
been heated for ten minutes, the pump must be
26
submerged in the deposit that feeds it (for ex-
ample a big bucket or drum) and, then, connect
it to the Explorer electric socket. A jet of wa-
ter of around 6l/minute will spring out at two
metres high more or less, which is similar to a
domestic shower. DO NOT INSERT THE WATER
PUMP IN THE EXPLORER RECIPIENT.
E. Distillation. The PowerSpot system con-
sists in a lid that is placed over the mouth of
the machine and that, thanks to a simple sys-
tem; it can be used for distillation. If it is put
on the distillation mode, it closes provoking
the steam to flow through a plastic coil, which
drips water already free of toxic mineral ele-
ments into an ad-hoc recipient. It has a dou-
ble safety system through overpressure, in a
way that an accident due to this cause is not
possible. Over a medium flame you can ob-
tain around a litre of distilled water an hour.
The way to proceed is extremely easy: before
proceeding to heat the device the lid should
be turned to the right position and the plastic
coil placed in a way that it drips the distilled wa-
ter into a clean recipient with a small quanti-
ty of previously distilled water. Once the steam
flows through this water, it will condense. When
the water in Explorer runs out, you must stop
the flame. To carry out the distillation is nec-
essary to supervise the operation and connect
at least a bulb to the Explorer. When the bulb
lowers its intensity, the flame must be turned
off. In these conditions, the same electric pow-
er can be obtained as well as a litre of distilled
water per hour.
