Its flagship product, the Nuru POWERCycle™ pedal generator is an off grid application that provides a non-polluting and sustainable source of power.
The Nuru POWERCycle is powered by humans and a 20 minute pedalling at 60rpm provides a typical 50W output. It is a rudimentary simple device and can make use of locally available bicycle components. In addition, it has portability, does not have any internal battery, provides a direct charge and is a non-polluting energy source.
Nuru Energy also provides modular LED lights, which can be recharged five at a time in 20 minutes, with each light providing up to 10 days of light to a rural household.
It can be recharged from multiple sources and can be used in a variety of ways (head/neck lamp, hung up, resting on flat surface or mounted in a bottle).
Nuru Energy has received many awards including the 2010 UNEP Sasakawa Prize and the 2010 UNDP World Business and Development Award.
