Jackery-LightCycle S1

Light Cycle S1 is a portable outdoor power supply shaped like a tire. The rounded body allows users to pull the device along the ground by its foldable handle, so a large capacity energy storage unit can be moved easily on foot. The surface is made of rubber and composite materials such as carbon black for wear and shock resistance. The solid structure limits deformation and improves heat dissipation. A built-in generator converts the kinetic energy of the rolling body into stored electricity. Rotary shields protect the input and output terminals.

Replaceable Refill Marker

Wednesday, 17 July 2024

Renew

Renew is a marker designed for quick replacement of the ink core. The pen holder is unscrewed with a twisting motion, so the tip separates from the core and a new core can be inserted without spilled ink. The twist mechanism keeps the holder in place when the cap is removed. Grooves around the fiber tip let the tip bend, which keeps full contact with the paper surface. The cap shape indicates the tip thickness, and matching cap and holder colors show the tilt direction of the tip. The body is made of plastic with a rubber section.
