Alen Kelati, from Smarts Corp, a rug software provider, shared with us his story of powering his house and charging cellphones during the Sandy storm outage simply by connecting his new Hybrogenerator device to his car by jumper cables.

After seven days of keeping his refrigerators running, the sump pump powered, and some lights, and also being a phone charging center for the neighborhood, he figured he used just seven gallons of gasoline.

The product is called a “Hybrogen.” It consists of a battery, power inverter, dials and devices to smooth the current and measure power consumption, along with a solar array to use sunlight to recharge the battery when used as a stand alone not connected to a hybrid car.

The principal is simple, when the batteries run down, the car goes to gasoline mode. When the batteries are recharged, the car goes back to battery mode. It all works without the wheels turning.
