Rotating it will generate power to power the device compatible to SuperBattery.
Light socks
Wonder from where Boyoung Joo Park got the inspiration for creating a pair of unusual socks. The user will put them on and go for a walk or a jog, these will utilize the kinetic energy developed while walking or running. Then convert it into electrical energy to turn on the lights on the socks. Yes, lights on the socks. If the user feels like taking a stroll in the pitch dark, his socks will show him the light. The user can also do spot jogging to illuminate the area in proximity.
BioLite Stove
This is a pretty useful portable stove for the adventure lovers. Small in size the stove doesn’t need any fuel that the user would have to buy from the market. Dry leaves and twigs are what the stove utilizes to produce the flames for cooking food. The user can attach a smart phone or a smart device to the USB port on the stove. The stove uses the heat produced by the fire and converts it into electrical energy to charge the electronic device plugged in to the USB port.
Solar powered jacket
Vegetable silk recovered from wood pulp and cotton is used to make this tech jacket. There is a photovoltaic panel mounted on the rear of the jacket, which would come on the center of the user’s back. The energy taken from the sun is used to charge a battery attached in the jacket. This li-ion battery is available to power up a variety of gadgets ranging from Smartphones to iPod and cameras. The best part is the voltage stabilizer, which can be adjusted to choose the output voltage.
The innovative minds are keen on developing everyday gadgets with unique features. We believe just like the smart light socks, there would be a device, which would charge the gadgets using the kinetic energy that is built in walking.
