DESIGN NAME: StoneDock
PRIMARY FUNCTION: ECO friendly iPhone iPod charging dock with missing call alert feature
INSPIRATION: The booming of iPhone users reflects that people are more and more concern about not only the function of the phone but also the product design and the care of sustainable energies. The STONEDOCK GreenZERO is a eco-friendly UNIVERSAL charging station for iPhone and iPod with 100% no idle power.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The StoneDock automatically starts charging by simply plugging your iPhone or iPod on the connector. When the device is fully charged or unplugged, it will automatically shut off with ZERO idle power to save energy waste and your device battery.
With STONEDOCK GreenZERO we could save 47 Mega Tons of CO2 every year for 70 million users* (based on the European CO2 emission for the French travel chargers users, Energy Star compliant.)
The exclusive GreenZERO Technology designed by OSUNGO is the most eco-friendly way to charge the devices while totally eliminating the wasting stand-by consumption (ZERO idle power) that other chargers consume when they are left plugged into the AC outlets. You no longer need to worry about unplugging your charger or switching off the power strip to save energy.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: OSUNGO have conducted extensive research to understand how to decrease or eliminate the idle power when our devices are fully charged. The success of the GreenZERO invention brought us to apply for a worlwide patent.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of the design was to developp an friendly way of use to start automatically the charge when we plus any 30 pins devices from Apple like iPhone and iPods. The silicone leaf holding the devices that hold all models was inspire by the nature itselfe.
