I mean you have nothing to show us. No details no nothing. This is not how you ask for funding.

I know I was just trying to garner some interest. I don't really feel comfortable putting up my schematics online but I'll try and make a prototype using a 3d printer and post it up
Door is that way breh ->

I'm curious how can you possibly have enough surface area on your panels to power any quality headphones (able to transmit at a rate of 320kb/s or higher)

I've looked at the area to power ratio for solar panels and it is not promising. :francis:


What kind of design philosophy will you use? I know that malleable panels are a thing but your looking at an extremely high production cost coupled with an extremely fragile product.



regardless, you have my interest, show us what you got so far?:patrice:

Everything works but youre right I'm still working on a solid power distribution system for the unit. I been experimenting with photovoltaic cells but honestly it's tough because the efficiency rate is like 10% but that won't stop me. I been working on this off and on for the last year.

What level of efficiency will you require in order to power your headset under full load?

Anything above 15% is probably not feasible. May need to look at alternative methods

If you can, funding/debt should be last resort.


You never wanna start a business on debt

Try to thug it out and stack bread IF POSSIBLE... just to be comfortable.

Business in unpredictable.

Debt/funding should be LAST RESORT cause no smart investor is gonna cut you a check without taking a nice chunk of your company

You currently have zero leverage in negotiations... No sales.. No product... No customer base...This is how brehs get raped.

I don't plan on the panels driving the headphones directly. I'm gonna use a lipo battery to store power
