Wheezing Can Be Charged By Playing

February 19, 2019
Power bank is a technology tool that is no less important than a smartphone. Because, the capacity of the smartphone battery is limited, of course very troublesome if it runs out at any time. Moreover, it runs out when in important situations. No wonder if, now, power banks are very important for those who actively use smartphones.


Now the problem of cellphone batteries that are quickly used up can be overcome by power bank technology. However, these portable battery devices still have limited durability. The bank's power must be recharged by plugging in the power adapter. However, along with the times, there are technology companies that make power banks unique.

The Japanese technology company, Nendo, made a power bank that was refilled by playing it. The unique power bank specifically designed to be used in emergency conditions was named Denqul.
Quoted from the Hype Beast on Wednesday (11/28), Denqul's power bank was designed specifically because it could still be recharged without any electricity source. Denqul is a tube with a small diameter. At a glance, this power bank looks like a small stick.

However, this device can store electricity with a capacity of up to 5,000 mAh. The power capacity is enough to double charge the smartphone to full.

Denqul's power bank can be extended like a selfie stick. The end can be bent 90 degrees to form a rotating crank. Well, in the part of the power bank there is a generator that functions to convert the force into electrical energy.

To turn the crank, the user only needs to hold the end of the power bank. Later, the bent crank will rotate like a propeller. Well, that turnover produces the energy and resources that are stored.
Not only played, the power of the Denqul bank can also be charged with electricity. Although it is very interesting, it is a pity that it is not clear how much the bank's power price is. Also not explained is how long the bank's power endurance.

February 19, 2019
There is something new in the online domain. Namely the presence of a 3D character application called Zepeto. No doubt, the presence of this application attracted the attention of many smartphone users.

Zepeto can be called a social network that allows users to create digital avatars, and can make friends with each other. This application made by Snow Corporation is available on the App Store and Google Play Store.


Snow Corporation is an application developer founded in 2016 in Seongnam, South Korea. This developer operates as a subsidiary of Naver Corporation. Before using Zepeto, users must first register via email or connect their social network accounts. Facebook, for example.

After that, users can create their own avatars, from the look of the face to clothes. Zepeto has four main menus, namely Play, Discover, Message, and Profile. On the Play menu, users can take their own photos or with friends using their respective avatars on Photobooth.

Then, the photos can be saved and then uploaded to social networks. Discover menu itself functions to make friends or follow other users. There are a number of options for friends, by entering "friend's code" or another user's profile code.

On Discover there is also the Zepeto Town Square feature. This feature allows users to meet each other and establish virtual friendships.

Users can also send messages to each other in Zepeto via the Message menu. This feature can be used not only for users who are friends with each other, but also those who haven't.

Meanwhile, the Profile menu contains information about the number of followers and following. Then, users through Profile can also re-edit faces, clothes, and various other things.

Unfortunately, in the midst of its popularity, an issue emerged that said Snow Corporation was tracking or recording user data.

Quoted from PiunikaWeb, the company has denied the issue and insists that it does not track or record any activities that occur within the Zepeto application.

"We ensure that there is no tracking, or any tracking activity against someone or object whatever happens in the Zepeto application. We only use a microphone when the user records videos using the camera in the application to do screenshots on the video," explained Snow Corporation.
