It's a neat idea but I feel like others have said, it's awful complicated set up with many moving parts (things to break). It can charge 11 cell phones which was the intended purpose I guess, but that's still only like 50 watts max. (Total guess there)
Thats almost a single light bulb and only during peak rainfall.
Wouldn't a solar cell phone be better? How big of a panel is necessary to get the 5V 0.7A necessary to charge a phone?
(3.5Watts)
