You know how there are eco-friendly devices around us that not only run on battery ability but has solar panels as well as a hand crank just in case of emergencies? Well, the BunBun Eco Light takes a slightly different route since you don’t need to sweat it out by cranking a lever with your hand – all you need to do is give it a nice twirl for around 30 seconds, where all of that kinetic energy will be transformed into juice for the battery, resulting in 5 minutes of light via BunBun’s trio of LEDs. You can look out for the BunBun Eco Light sometime that month for around $22 as it arrives in pink, green, purple and black colors.

Ryan Klinger has come up with the Empower rocking chair that is made up of a flat-pack chair of tubes as well as a sling seat which folds out to a bench-style glider seat. Since the rocking mechanism is connected to a gearbox, DC generator, voltage controller and lithium battery, that means all kinetic energy generated can be used later on. All energy is converted through the use of a DC/AC inverter and can be accessed by a USB or standard potential outlet in order for it to be connected to other devices in dire need of juice, including a notebook, MP3 player or other gizmos.

Check out that Yoyo mobile phone charger concept that actually harnesses the kinetic energy generated through playing a yoyo, where that juice can thereupon be used to charge up your cellphone. Guess it doesn’t matter what kind of tricks you are able to pull off with a yoyo – as enlarged as you keep it moving, thereupon it ought to be able to store up some juice which will see action in other devices later on. What makes that mobile charger concept all the more different is that yoyo is the phone itself, but good luck talking to something which most probably has walked all by the pavement when you perform various tricks with it.

South Africa will be hosting the World Cup later that summer, and we wonder just how green the event will be. Regardless, the s0ccket soccer ball has some elements of being eco-friendly, where it stores all the kinetic energy it receives with all the kicking around, where it can hold ample juice to potential a loner LED while recharging a small battery-operated device. The s0ccket soccer ball is currently in its prototype stage, where youth in Africa are having a ball of their duration (literally) play-testing it. Great concept too, as youth seem to have plenty of energy to burn so why not translate that to electricity?

Ever used a skipping rope to try and lose weight? Well, the Jump Light brings things to a new level, where it comes with a torchlight that is fitted within the skipping rope handles. As you can more or less guess, the Jump Light will rely on kinetic energy garnered during your skipping sessions to store electricity in the flashlight’s battery, allowing you to skip your way to light (as well as lightness as you shed those pounds). Knowing that you’re doing your bit to keep the earth green as well doesn’t hurt the Jump Light’s notion.

Skipping rope is a great way for you to stay healthy, but what whether you take it one step further, and harness the kinetic energy generated as well? With that concept “Jump Light”, it’ll harness said kinetic energy, and use it to capability the bulb at the end of the stick, effectively turning into a flashlight, which would be a great thing for emergencies. Guess you won’t have to concern about not having batteries in an emergency eh? Just jump!

The e-cart concept ought to be realized in supermarkets and grocery shops the world by. Why do we say that? Well, it comes with wheels that will harness kinetic energy generated whenever it is in motion. that energy will next be stored to the main potential storage unit whenever the cart is docked within. Line up one e-cart after another and you can scheme a pretty decent potential chain to help relieve the store’s operating costs where electricity is concerned, and in turn, it will allow the store to slash its prices to keep you happier.

Kyocera recently unveiled on cellphone that ought to grab the attention of anyone who looks at it – after all, you certainly won’t see a kinetic energy-powered cellphone every day, do you? that one is even better as it can fold up like a wallet. Designed by industrial designer Susan McKinney, that Kyocera handset, plus known as the EOS phone, is made up of a soft, semi-rigid polymer skin surrounding a flexible low-energy OLED display. When will we see it mass produced?

Boffins are finding a way to use piezoelectrics on vehicles in order to convert kinetic energy into electricity, and that could mean piezoelectric devices being mounted on the roof or tail of a car or on an airplane fuselage, where the vibration within a flow would produce an output voltage. While all the juice generated is nary sufficient to match the potential of combustion engines or even come close to it, it could be used to ability other systems such as tiny electronic devices and control panels. Could energy scavenging be the new mantra?

Want to go green? Cross your fingers that the Dancepants Kinetic Music Player concept would be realized in the future thereupon. that device actually forces you to work for your tunes, as it will convert whatever kinetic energy garnered from running or dancing into electricity for your MP3 player. The high-tech leggings will allow you to enjoy the fruits of your labor, and in a strange way forces you to keep on moving whether you want to tune in to your playlist. Only extremely motivated humans need apply.
