Freeplay Energy - Energy for Life

Solar Energy

The EyeMax's highly efficient and robust solar panel is powerful enough that, when exposed to sufficient sunlight, it will charge the batteries and drive the radio at the same time. Even when you're not using it, the radio will charge itself up if left in the sun.

Self-Charge

Freeplay's patented self-charge mechanism is the world's most efficient human energy conversion system. The winder can be cranked in both directions and the harder you crank, the more energy you create. A crank level LED indicates the optimum winding speed, but the only limitation to how much energy you can create and store is you.

AC

If you have a suitable AC adapter, you can plug the EyeMax into the wall (for both playing and charging).

An AC adapter is included with some models.  (Purchases through this website include an adapter in USA, Canada, and Rest of World; not in UK.)  If an adapter is not included, you can use any "mini-USB" AC adapter (including Freeplay's of course).  Many newer cellphones and digital cameras use the same adapter, so you may already have one.
