Cyclists can now illuminate without batteries with magnet-powered LEDs
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A Denmark engineer working for the Bang & Olafsen company has eliminated the need for cyclists to buy battery after battery for their road lights with LED lights that are always on thanks to a magnets that are connected to the wheel spokes, and provide power to the lights as cyclists ride, Bike Biz reports.
Those are the meta-tag keywords IT specialist Mike Pederson has put on the website for Goodbyebatteries.com.
"There is no need for batteries or dangling wires -- never, ever!"
"Physics, electronics and common sense have come into play to create the 'must have' safety product for your bike.
A crystal clear case covers two LEDs.
Each light has two LEDs, red or white.
An adjustable black steel arm holds the light at the correct position.
The arm fastens to the wheel axle using the wheel nut on the bike.
"The powerful magnets are slotted onto the spokes of the wheel, and that's it.
Front and back lights -- for ever!"
Each time the magnet passes the LED unit equals one flash.
Going faster or adding more magnets leads to faster flashing.
The lights cost �19.99 for a rear and front set.
Currently, consumers can sign up for a commission-based affliliate programme and print out handlebar tags to get friends and other cyclists to order the products online.
Pederson, an IT specialist who introduces Scandanavian companies to the UK market, told BikeBiz.com the lights are one step up from reflectors and a lot cheaper than dynamos.
