Korisnik instruktora Honus nije samo gradio MightMintyBoost kako bi stvorio i pokazao svoje vještine u elektroničkom projektu (iako je zasigurno divan mali projekt to učiniti), ozbiljno je o solarnoj energiji i utjecaju čiste energije:
Apple has sold over 30 million iPodTouch/iPhone units- imagine charging all of them via solar power…. If every iPhone/iPodTouch sold was fully charged every day (averaging the battery capacity) via solar power instead of fossil fuel power we would save approximately 50.644gWh of energy, roughly equivalent to 75,965,625 lbs. of CO2 in the atmosphere per year. Granted that’s a best case scenario (assuming you can get enough sunlight per day and approximately 1.5 lbs. CO2 produced per kWh used.) Of course, that doesn’t even figure in all the other iPods, cell phones, PDAs, microcontrollers (I use it to power my Arduino projects) and other USB devices that can be powered by this charger- one little solar cell charger may not seem like it can make a difference but add all those millions of devices together and that’s a lot of energy!
Njegov MightyMintyBoost je naprava za napajanje baterija za uređaje koji mogu napuniti putem USB-a i prihvaća dolaznu struju iz solarne ploče na vrhu (ili, na oblačnim danima može se puniti zidnim punjačem ili USB priključkom na računalu). Udarite donju vezu da biste vidjeli njegovu punu vodič za izgradnju i izradite vlastiti MightyMintyBoost.
