It really amazes me that with today’s technology, we still haven’t found a way to create a more efficient, longer-lasting solution for powering our mobile devices. While most of us own sophisticated smarthphones which have the ability to do so much for us on a daily basis, we still don’t have the technology to keep these devices powered for much more than a day without needing to be recharged. I personally would have thought that battery technology would be much further along than it currently is, if you were to ask me 10 years ago.

For one man, named Jonathan Roberts, he too is not a fan of having to constantly charge his smartphone. This problem becomes an even bigger issue for cyclists who depend on their phones for navigation, health monitoring and more. Long bike trips can span days, with little access to electricity which is needed in order to recharge a mobile device’s battery. This is what led him to create a very unique 3D printed mobile charging system called the AeroCharge. https://3dprint.com/94024/aerocharge-smartphone-charge/
