Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger

ABSTRACT
Mobile phones are wonderful inventions and are highly used in the modern days. It is
also convenient to human beings. The battery in the mobile phone made it possible for the device
to be portable. The charger being sold together with the mobile phone charges energy in the
phones battery for storage. However, the charger isnt convenient without any electrical source
like outlets. It cannot charge outdoors or during emergencies. The researches invented the
Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger. This device charges a phone
using manual operation. When you wind its handle, it produces energy to charge the battery. To
make the device, it will need the following materials: motor head of ceiling fan, diode, 2 types
of capacitor, voltage regulator (IC7805), 10 in 1 USB charger, female USB cord, customized
box, switch, (green and red) LED lights, 6 volt rechargeable battery and handle for winding. The
device was designed to charge energy in a mobile phone manually for emergencies and other
usage. Upon conducting the experiments, the researchers found out that it is able to charge
energy in some selected mobile phones based on the test conducted, when it is attached to the
device. It can charge a maximum of two selected cellular phones at a time also based on the test
conducted. It also turned out to be handy because a handle is attached, for convenience in
carrying around. The researchers conclude that the Manually-Operated Emergency Universal
Mobile Phone Charger is useful during emergencies.

INTRODUCTION
A Background of the Study
Today, its much easier to communicate with others than it was just a decade ago. With the
speedy advancement of the technology level, human beings are now being brought to an
unprecedented era they have ever experienced. The telephone, which was invented in the 20 th
century, was one of the most efficient in communicating. Later on, the mobile phone was
invented. . However, when the energy in the battery is used up, your mobile phone dies. This is
why mobile phones have a charger with them. It charges energy to the battery. Upon using the
charger, it will also need an outlet to plug in as a source of energy transaction. This is a
disadvantage outdoors.
So the researchers invented the Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone
Charger. This device is used for emergency charging. It is hand-powered so if you wind its
handle it will generate electricity to charge your mobile phone. It transforms mechanical energy
to electrical energy.

B Statement of the Problem

This study aims to answer the following questions. It will answer the main problem: Can the
Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger charge?
1

How long will it take to charge the mobile phone for one bar?

Will it charge several mobile phones at a time?

Objectives:
The aim of the study is to find out if the Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile
Phone Charger can charge at least 1 bar of battery for 20 min, if it can charge more than 2 mobile
phones of different brands and/or models at a time.

C Significance of the Study

The purpose of the research is to be able to charge a mobile phone during emergencies or
travelling.

D Scope and Limitations

The Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger is able to charge
energy in the mobile phones battery when it is attached to the device. It cannot charge more than
one mobile phones at a time, it can only recognize the following brands and/or models; Cherry
Mobile Flare (S100), Samsung Galaxy Young Y, Samsung GT E12S003, Samsung GT 1055T,
Samsung Corby II S3650 as far as tested.

E Review of Related Literature

A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or battery by forcing
an electric current through it. There are different types of chargers sold in the market like; solar
charger - It employs solar energy to supply electricity to devices or charge batteries, external
battery charger it charges a mobile phone with the use of an external battery, wall charger
charges the phone using an electrical outlet.

Eesha Khare, the inventor of the 20-second phone charger, is an 18-year-old student from
Lindberg High School in San Jose California. She was rewarded by Intel for her invention of a
device that can make a 20-second phone charger available on the market in the future.

METHODOLOGY
A Materials

Motor Head of A Ceiling Fan

Diode

Voltage Regulator (ic 7805)

10 in 1 USB cords

Box

Handle (for winding)

LED Lights

2 types of Capacitor

Female USB Port

Switch

6- Volt Rechargeable Battery

A Procedure
Make a box 5.5 inches by 7 inches by 6.5 inches with a pocket 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches by 7
inches. Make two holes opposite to each other. Attach a handle at the top of the box for easy
handling. Use the female end of the cord and cut off the male end. Four wires will pop out of
the cut male end namely; the green & white wires for the data, the red wire for positive and
black wire for negative. Connect the positive wire of the ceiling fan to one node of the diode,
and then connect the other node of the diode to the input node of the regulator together with
one node of the 2 types of capacitors (black cylinder & blue flat). Connect the other node of
the 2 types of capacitors (black cylinder & blue flat), the negative wire of the ceiling fan, the
negative node of the green LED light, the negative side of the 6- volt battery, the negative
wire (black wire) of the female USB port and one side of another capacitor (blue flat) to the
2nd node of the regulator. Connect the positive wire (red wire) of the female USB port to the
diode then connect the diode to the output side of the regulator together with the other side of
the capacitor (blue flat), the positive node of the green LED light and one side of the switch.
Connect the other side of the switch to the positive side of the 6- volt battery. Connect the
negative node of the red LED light to the negative side of the 6- volt battery, and then
connect the positive node of the red LED light to the other side of the switch which was
connected to the positive side of the 6- volt battery.

is two and it also varies on the models.

CONCLUSION

The Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger was designed to charge
energy in a mobile phone manually for emergencies and other usage. Upon conducting the
experiments, the researchers found out that it is able to charge energy in some selected mobile
phones based on the test conducted, when it is attached to the device. It can charge a maximum
of two selected cellular phones based on the test conducted. The researchers conclude that the
Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger is useful during emergencies.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The researchers suggest that the next researcher/s could use perpetual motion for the charging of
the internal battery. To make the device smaller and more portable, the next researchers can make
a smaller box that is enough to hold all the materials for the device.
