Frequently asked questions
Is EPOD a Real Generator or another Battery System?
EPOD IS A REAL GENERATOR – EPOD generates power internally to supply electric power to loads plugged into its control panel. Unlike Battery systems Masquerading as Generators, the EPOD Can Recharge Itself without being plugged into a wall outlet or a Solar Panel. Most people don’t realize that the majority of Solar Panels take 4 to 8 hours or more (depending on cloud cover) to recharge their batteries. This can cause a problem if you are continuously running (especially overnight) a heater or refrigerator from your Battery Masquerading as a Generator.
Does The EPOD Use Fossil Fuels?
NO – The EPOD Does NOT Use Fossil Fuels (e.g.: NO Gasoline, Diesel, Propane, etc.). EPOD has a unique “Impulse Drive” System that use eco-friendly, replaceable, economical and reloadable Solid Power Modules (SPM). These create power in the EPOD (in a way similar to how gas creates power in a regular generator) by energizing the Impulse Drive to spin up a Flywheel and Generator. This use of the SPM happens on a timed, sporadic or intermittent basis when the the EPOD’s Internal Computer System senses that the Intelligent Battery System (IBS) is running low on power and there is a need to activate the Impulse Drive to recharge the IBS.
Is EPOD a "SMART" Power On demand System?
YES – EPOD is a Smart Power On Demand System. EPOD has a number of interconnected “Smart” components that work together to optimize fuel use and supply optimal electrical power output as required by the loads plugged into the EPOD. The EPOD’s operation is designed around these Smart Components to optimize fuel use, fuel longevity and power output. If minimal power output is required by system loads, the SPM can output power for 6 to 20+ hours before needing another SPM to be loaded. This fuel extension ability is crucial in power emergencies with an unknown time duration. By Smart management of the intermittent recharge cycles the EPOD can deliver Power on Demand that is required by loads on the system – as opposed to regular generators (e.g.: using Fossil Fuels) that produce (and waste) maximum power continuously regardless of the power being used by loads attached to the system.
What is the main purpose of the EPOD Design?
The main purpose of the EPOD design is to provide the best eco-friendly, economical, user friendly source of emergency power complete with mission critical accessories that optimize the best use of emergency electric power during a power crisis. Besides generating, storing and delivering optimized emergency power without fossil fuels, the EPOD’s internal exhaust mitigation system (of its intermittent minimal exhaust) allows the EPOD to be used indoors with little or no ventilation. Additionally the EPOD has a 5 point area lighting system with 2 removable hi-intensity flashlights, an integral commercial battery recharge system (AAA-AA-C-D & Transistor Type), EMP protection of all interior electronic systems and an Internet hub capable of connecting up to 10 different users. .
How is the EPOD IBS different from Batteries in other Power Devices on the market?
The Intelligent Battery System (IBS) is designed to be internally charged-up as it delivers output power to loads attached to the system. A fully charged IBS can supply the power output requirements of loads placed on its system for a predetermined time frame (depending on the power output required) without causing the internal power generator to activate. Once the computer System senses the IBS power levels are dropping, past pre-designated levels, the Computer system will activate the use of 1 or more SPM to spin-up the Impulse Drive and recharge the IBS. Other systems only have a battery and no other internal way to recharge themselves. These batteries masquerading as generators will run out of power if not recharged from an exterior power source (Solar panel or a wall outlet). EPOD creates its own internal power and recharges itself.
