New Technology Showcase
The BayGenŽ Group was established in 1994 to develop and implement
the technology of Personal Power GenerationŽ (PPG), by which human
mechanical energy can be stored and delivered in electrical form, upon
demand and in controllable fashion. BayGen's development of PPG
systems focuses on marketability and is aimed at two goals: To provide
failsafe alternatives or emergency power sources in scenarios where
commercial power is either unavailable, undesirable, or subject to failure.
To enable the vast numbers of people on earth who have no realistic access
to electrical power to enjoy the lifestyle advantages inherent in the range of inexpensive electronic products now widely available. BayGen's flagship
product is the Freeplay Handcranked Solar Radio.
The BayGen Freeplay Handcranked Solar Radio is available at Sharper Image (http://www.sharperimage.com) and Partners Crank Up Digital Radios Technology News
