Stay Plugged in with Slive-4U’s Self-Powered Smart SoS Charger

UNION CITY, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We live in the most technologically advanced age that the world has ever seen, with devices that make our lives easier than they’ve ever been in human history. We awaken in the morning to music that eases us from slumber, with a snooze button within reach to give us a few more minutes of sleep. Coffee, precisely time to meet our morning schedule, is set to brew in readiness for us after we emerge from the shower, shaved, coiffed, and looking great. After we check our electronic devices for messages, weather reports, and traffic alerts, we head out into the world. All’s well. Technology has made it possible for modern men and women to control their environment. That is, until Mother Nature decides that it’s time to remind people who’s really in control, and suddenly there’s a tornado/storm/high wind warning/ hurricane/earthquake/wildfire/. Lines are down, the power is out, and you feel like you’ve been cast back into the Stone Age. You’re scrambling in the dark to find a flashlight. You need a radio so that you can find out what’s going on. You need to charge your phone. But you’re helpless.

It’s true that, impressive as Silicon Valley advances are, and as vastly as its inventions have altered our lives, weather still calls the shots, and we all know that technology and electricity are at its beck and call when Nature slams us with a disaster. Anyone who’s been paying attention has noticed that weather seems to be having tantrums all around the globe, whether it’s earthquakes in China, flooding in the Midwest, or a lightning strike next door. But Bernie Yip and Rick Huang, two Silicon Valley veterans, combined creative resources with a company possessing 15 years of experience in self-powered radio development and 35 years of experience in manufacturing to develop the Slive-4U, a rescue device that’s a must-have for anyone for whom electricity is vital and technology is necessary. Since that means everyone, it’s time to listen up and pay attention to the features offered in this Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign project. This smart, self-powered SoS Charger allows you to charge your smart phone so that you can stay in contact with work, family, and friends. The smart flashlight not only gives you light to see with when the lack of electricity leaves you in the dark, but if you keep it plugged into an outlet, it comes on when the power goes off, and has two levels of brightness for improved visibility. The AM/FM radio station also comes with seven NOAA weather channels and superior reception. The Slive-4U can help keep a light shining when the power goes out, and crowdfunding will open up the market for the product.

But what if you’re not at work, but on vacation, or camping, when a disaster hits? The Slive-4U has all the features that can help you get necessary information, charge your devices, and light up the darkness, along with a siren alarm that can signal for help. Nature might have the power to take out electricity, but when that happens, you just take out your Slive-4U and you’re no longer stranded and helpless.

Slive-4U’s USB bridge function gives you the ability to simultaneously power two of your electronic devices from a single electrical outlet as the Slive-4U multitasks while charging. It’s compact and portable for travel; wherever you go, take the Slive-4U with you and you won’t be caught unawares when the power goes out.

The cornerstone of Slive-4U’s effectiveness is Slive’s high efficiency self-powering technology, iS-power. Slive-4U is equipped with many cool features, but its power-outage sensing keeps it primed for action when electricity fails. And even if there’s a power outage, and even if the built-in rechargeable battery is out, you have the option of using hand-crank power or AAA batteries. The Slive-4U has taken every contingency into consideration so that, no matter what happens, there’s always a Plan B!

It’s taken two years of prototyping, initial testing, manufacturing test phases and development to bring the Slive-4U to readiness. Three months were devoted to making sure that the AM radio component would fit into the compact design without a loss of reception quality. Yip and Huang have built a solid partnership with a veteran electronics manufacturer, a pioneer in self-powered radio development and manufacturing, who can support their guaranteed product quality and delivery schedule. Their company has bold and dramatic plans for future inventions that will be just as innovative as the Slive-4U.

About Slive-4U
Bernie Yip and Rick Huang, the two senior engineers from Silicon Valley who founded Slive (www.slivedirect.com) in 2013, have big plans for their partnership, intending to bring more green, high-tech products to the market. Their debut invention, the Slive-4U, is the world’s first emergency companion with self-powered phone-charging capability, a smart flashlight that comes on when the lights go out, a siren, and radio.
