Instead of a pressurised gas container, the backpack uses a lithium-ion battery to power the airbag with a fan.
Thanks to the screen's lower power consumption, the watch's lithium ion polymer battery can keep going for seven days, Migicovsky says.
It can also be connected to an external 5-volt Lithium-ion polymer battery for backup power, enabling use in areas where electricity can be inconsistent.
Sharp's residential energy solutions feature greater overall power generation thanks to panel configurations geared to roof shape and a power conditioner, as well as a lithium-ion storage battery that allows load levelling in which inexpensive night-time electricity is stored for use during the daytime.
