Technopolis "Era" has developed a compact charger, intended for military equipment and does not require recharging from the generator. Its mass is 1,5 kilogram.
Egor Vinogradov, an employee of the 4th scientific company, told the TASS news agency about this..
The device belongs to electrochemical generators. It can be used to charge military portable radios, navigation devices, laser rangefinders and other equipment, operating in the field from batteries. Its power can reach 150 W.
The charger operates on a hydrogen fuel cell. Since the reaction products are hydrogen and carbon dioxide, operation of the device does not harm the environment.
And although similar equipment is made abroad, the weight of foreign analogues exceeds 2 kilogram, while the new Russian memory weighs 1,5 kg. Low weight allows the device to be used in a combat situation, when military personnel operate in full gear, having a significant mass.
But the most important thing, no need for a generator to charge new equipment, which is difficult to use in the field. It only needs a spare hydrogen fuel cell., whose weight is only 450 grams.
