Product Description
Moixa aims to reduce energy consumption and change how people use, or misuse, energy. The basis of the 20th century’s power supply (120/240v AC mains) is inappropriate, inefficient and wasteful for modern needs. People fill their houses, offices and laptop bags with cables, chargers, and adapters to convert AC down to lower voltages for phones, MP3 players, gadgets and lighting. Moixa offers a low-power, renewable-energy alternative through new reusable battery technology.
Market Opportunity
Billions of manufactured adapters, chargers and cables inefficiently convert AC main supplies down to lower voltages for modern devices. Similarly, 15 billion primary batteries are thrown away annually, and rechargeable batteries are still a minority. The market needs new power-supply solutions that leverage renewable resources and that are more usable by modern consumers.
DEMO Says
Moixa gets high marks for clever design. Flip the top of these standard-sized AA batteries to reveal a USB connector. Plug them in and feed your batteries from the power of a desktop or laptop computer. This smart design means more power and convenience for mobile professionals and less toxic garbage for the landfill.
