EcoCharge Pro

The portable power generator project began with the concept of creating a versatile energy solution for outdoor and emergency use, integrating both solar and hand-crank power sources. The design process involved developing prototypes to test electrical functionality, user experience, and form, ensuring the product was both efficient and user-friendly. Technical aspects focused on using ABS plastic for its durability and lightweight properties, while the generator’s components were carefully selected to optimize performance. User testing played a crucial role, providing insights that led to ergonomic improvements, particularly in the hand crank design. Cost considerations were balanced with technical requirements to ensure the product remained affordable while meeting high standards of functionality and durability.
