No batteries needed, no wires, no friction, how can this bicycle light be lit when moving?

People often use bicycles to use two types of lights: one battery type and one powered by generator operating when the wheel rotates. Both types have drawbacks, and that's when the third solution comes up.

If you're a regular bike driver, you're probably no stranger to a car-powered lamp powered by a battery pack - of course you'll need to change it often, quite expensive. Another type of lamp is attached to a small generator, and this current is generated when you pedal the wheel. This type of drawback is that creating friction makes you have to pedal harder if you don't want the car to slow down.

To solve this problem, a Kickstarter campaign was created to provide a standalone solution for "deaf truck" enthusiasts: car lights use battery powered electricity through a generator but do not need any parts. contact with wheels. This solution is expected to bring an infinite amount of light without resistance through an element called eddy current (or flow) - the current flowing in the wire thanks to a magnetic change. .

In order to use this type of lamp, users only need to change the normal brake pads to the new brake lights mentioned above. You also do not need to attach batteries or wires at all.

Magnic Microlights brake lights

"When I saw the Magnic Light brake light for the first time, many people thought it was a fake lamp, or acted on a permanent magnet generator" - inventor Dirk Strothmann said - "Both things It is not true that eddy current technology is very good because the magnetic field only appears when there is movement, in this case the rotating wheels, by hiding a rotating magnet wheel inside a black box, the This lamp feels like it runs on dinamo, but this invention is much more significant because it offers many advantages over traditional generators: between a wheel and a generator with a small space. Therefore, there is no need to worry about dust, water or snow attached to the transmitter, and this transmitter also does not need an external cord, so it will be covered better defense and feel the power almost never runs out ".

Strothmann also created a smart version of this brake light, which allows flashing to signal navigation such as motorcycle lights, by squeezing the brake pedal twice quickly, and even the signal light is available. can be navigated by smartphone and speed monitoring devices without sensors.

Strothmann is a famous person for Kickstarter fundraising. He has done two successful fundraisers before, so people can fully trust this project. You can order this lamp on Kickstarter for $ 118 for an intelligent front and rear light kit, or a cheap and basic front and rear light kit for just $ 1.2 for the first 1,000 people to order. The product will be delivered to the customer in November 2018.
