There are four cable series: the original GYRRH, GYRRH Asenak, GYRRH Engardrado and GYRRH Eyesaira, the last of which is not yet available to the public.

The original GYRRH series was largely discontinued and only 3″ models remain.

The Asenak and Engardrado series succeeded the original cable with the latter focusing on higher durability and protection (fused).

I decided, for the time being, to increase Asenak’s durability to match Engardrado’s - so the only difference between the two is that it isn’t fused. Asenak cables won’t increase in price for the remainder of 2015.

The reason I’m unsure if this will be permanent is because they’re somewhat difficult to make. The Engardrado series takes quite a while to manufacture but is, to-date, the best charge-only cable available.

The decision to strengthen the Asenak cable series isn’t due to any sort of defects or complaints - no customer has returned them. At the same time, I want you to have the best level of durability possible so that they know in 5 years, your cable won’t fray whether used exclusively indoors to power whatever or used in a desert-bound ATV.

5′ models of red, white and yellow Micro-B cables and 1′ and 3′ red and yellow (respectively) Mini-B  will be made available today (August 14th).

And then there were none.

I recently talked about how inspirational individuals, such as Helen Keller, caused me to think differently about moving forward with wireless energy. This is an example of where, sometimes, what seems like a good idea just isn’t.

This is a prototype for a cable that would have been released within a month or so. It works but its performance comes off more as a “gimmick” than its intended function, which would rarely (I believe, anyway) have been activated - not that it isn’t useful, it isn’t practical enough for the everyday person to use.

I’m taking what was learned with this to make something else that’s been a little challenging so far but I’m sure can be done properly.

Made in USA*

One thing that will be changed going forward is the breakdown of products’ materials (domestic vs. imported) - they can currently be found in their respective manual. This change will only affect new products (after July 2015).

The reason is because many companies don’t label their products in accordance with the Made in USA standard and it’s very tricky to do so. 

GYRRH cables were manufactured to comply with the Buy American Act for Federal Government acquisitions. It isn’t necessary to label cables as such but it would help. However, when materials are labeled:

Made in USA

Made in USA with Domestic and Imported Parts

Made in USA with at least 50% Domestic Material

Product of USA

Assembled in USA

Assembled in USA with Domestic and Imported Parts

Designed in USA

Designed and Assembled in USA

It starts getting reeeeally frustrating. The only thing that will remain consistent is their country of origin will be the United States but as newer products become available, they will not likely use many domestic parts simply because many electrical components aren’t manufactured here.

This is what morphevo will be - something that’s not a phone or computer but a different kind of device. What connection does it have with the upcoming GYRRH cable?

I wonder.

It was supposed to be the best portable charger ever. 

I referenced this product a few posts ago but this one was never released for a variety of reasons, mostly due to relying on existing designs (by other companies) with a few modifications. 

I just wasn’t comfortable with that because it wouldn’t have been an original product - it wouldn’t have been mine or yours.

Some of you have seen a cartoonish picture in product descriptions. What I haven’t revealed is that, that picture is part of a much larger “map” that would detail my progress to wireless energy.

For the first time, you’re seeing more of that map along with people involved in helping me get there. I haven’t publicly provided it because of an issue with showing information on mobile devices - and that a lot of people probably wouldn’t be interested.

The plan was to allow you to click certain areas (or touch), such as the book laying on the ground, to learn things about me and the people who, one way or the other, have been instrumental in the three wireless energy systems.

I asked, “What if I make a super cable?”

What the hell’s a “super” cable?

The elephant in the room with charge-only cables is, “can’t I throw a switch in a regular cable and have a charge-only cable?” Why yes, yes you can - it may not charge as fast but you can. This isn’t just that, though.

I’ve made data cables but the market is saturated with them, which is why I wanted to focus on charge-only. This particular cable would have done at least 3 different things but the execution process isn’t straightforward.

Even though it works, there are certain (expected and) unexpected things that also prevented this one from being made.

First of all, since this cable has multiple switches, the user would be confused. It works for me but for the ordinary consumer, it wouldn’t work.

From a numbers perspective and assuming a single USB port, it would take 3 steps to switch from data mode to charge-only whereas going from a data cable to charge-only cable would take 4 steps, which is acceptable.

Any type of interaction with the user requires a custom-made interface (on the cable) which is out of the question for the time being due to lack of resources.

Furthermore, this one would have to be shielded and just like the afore point, that isn’t yet feasible.

So the shielded aspect keeps getting in the way. What now?

I started paying attention to other things.

I needed inspiration to figure out how to evolve GYRRH cables and cost simply couldn’t be the reason a great product wouldn’t exist.

Just as certain as what I envisioned “Morphevo” Mobile Lifestyle System could be from my pitch deck, certain things kept coming up.

So I started watching videos of a few individuals, one of which was Helen Keller, who made me believe (well her and her lifelong teacher) that humans can do just about anything if you are tuned to a specific thing and are simply focused enough to do it.

Specifically mentioning Ms. Keller has significance but I’ll save that for another time.

What you see is a prototype for a new cable to overcome the shielded issue - well maybe not overcome but act differently as an electric cable.

This particular prototype works but is currently unrealistic for general use. I’m waiting on a few components to arrive in a few weeks and if it performs as well as I expect it to, it’ll be made available within the next two months (it’ll take about a month for the parts to arrive).

What exactly can a charge-only cable do other than charge? Hopefully we’ll all find out and while I don’t think the idea is innovative, I think it’s necessary to aid in moving forward with wireless energy.
