Innovative objects follow one another, but they are not the same! Rejig, the latest, is a backpack equipped with solar panels and a USB plug, designed to recharge smartphones. An innovation signed by two students who have shown great ingenuity… <\/i><\/p>\n

We’ve all experienced it at least once: that pesky phone that drops us when we need it most! Whether you’re on a business trip, out with friends or travelling, running out of battery power is particularly annoying. Lucky is the person who has never experienced it! To avoid such a situation, Sos Innovation comes to the rescue …<\/p>\n

Far from the very sophisticated and sometimes expensive tools, here is a backpack capable of charging smartphones. We owe this brilliant innovation to Jonas Perrin, a student at the Toulouse Business School, and Jean Mauchoff\u00e9, a student at a business school in Nancy. These two students, but first and foremost friends, set out to create a backpack capable of charging smartphones. It is equipped with a small solar panel connected to a battery to recharge smartphones and tablets.<\/p>\n

\"Rejig<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rejig was born after a trip!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Where did the idea of creating such a bag come from? Like all of us, the two friends have experienced cell phone battery failure. Indeed, Jonas ran out of battery power on a trip to Tasmania in July 2017. While he wanted to take a picture of a beautiful sunset, he was very disappointed to see his cell phone flat. That’s where the idea of “creating an urban, designer backpack with a small solar panel to charge your phone, tablet or even your computer, anything that can be connected to a USB port in the end,” Jonas pointed out.<\/p>\n

On his return, Jonas shares his idea with his friend Jean, who is seduced. The two friends decide to order a solar kit on the internet to apply their idea on an old backpack: the prototype proves conclusive. The duo then worked on the design of a more elaborate model, giving birth to the Rejig company last December.<\/p>\n

The prototype is amazing! The final product measures 46 centimetres in height and 34 centimetres in width, housing its integrated solar panel which measures 27.5 centimetres in height and 9 centimetres in width. This is the element that will collect the energy necessary to supply the battery, also present in the bag. This was achieved by using SMT (Surface-Mount Technology), a manufacturing technique that allows solar panels to produce more electricity with the same surface area.<\/p>\n

Operation crowdfuning activated!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Like any entrepreneur, even a beginner, the question you have to ask yourself is: where do you find the money to start your business?<\/p>\n

Now that their innovation seems to be working, the two young entrepreneurs want to venture into the market and find out if there is a consumer demand for their product. For this to happen, funding is obviously needed. With this in mind, Jonas Perrin and Jean Mauchoff\u00e9 launched a crowdfunding campaign on the KissKissBankBank platform on Monday 14 May with the aim of raising 16,000 euros. If the necessary funding is obtained, they will launch online pre-orders for delivery in October!<\/p>\n

This innovation is to be welcomed, especially since it will undoubtedly attract a large number of customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
