Alternative solutions


The zollinger door generator is another product we managed to find that shares some similarity with our product. However, our product functions on a different mechanism as this and is better in some areas. Our product is better concealed, and more efficient in energy conversion. Our product is more aesthetically appealing as it is concealed and will not be seen compared to the zollinger door generator which can be seen. Also, the zollinger door generator has an output of up to 50 watts per swing, and an average power of 25 watts. Even though we currently have a highest of 47.4 watts generated, it has an average output of more 39.8 watts, thus making it have a net higher energy output. Moreover, our tests were using a dynamo which was not the most efficient and could have a higher energy output if it was using a different dynamo.
