Open Source Alcaline Battery Regenerator | Cool Future Technologies | Scoop.it

Regen Box is a battery regenerator that will, in its final version, be an open-source project. It is able to regenerate all kinds of batteries, including both rechargeable Ni-Mh batteries and supposedly “non rechargeable” alkaline batteries.

Initiated by the paleo-energetic collaborative research program, Regenbox is the first project of this kind. 

 

It was brought to us by a fellow paleo-searcher of this program who first prototyped the box using an old patent from the 1980s that is now in the public domain. 

 

Regen Box is ecological and goes against planned obsolescence. 

 

There is a crowdfunding campaign and we aim at creating a community of beta testers in order to clearly understand which alkaline batteries available on the battery-market  can really be regenrerated.

 

This will eventually lead to the identification of the most rechargeable batteries in order to share this knowledge with everyone.
