We will all create our own power

Motorola Emerging Market has showed a nice bike during CES: a bike allowing to recharge your ipod (or iphone), while bicycling. Interesting but this is not a revolution. Isn’t that a big dynamo, powering your bicycle light & your mp3 gear by the way?

Nevertheless, it may open a road (not a boulevard yet) to funny and cool forms of energy.

We all have tens of electrical powered devices (fixed phone, mobile phones, smart-phones, wireless mouse, video camera, digital camera, portable game device, gps… whatever) consuming more and more power and using more and more batteries AND we want to lose weight (I want, for sure).

So forget nuclear energy, personal fuel cell… It is time to develop and market funny ways to create electrical power, by moving our fat and over-weighted bodies.

Creating energy while bicycling has always existed but it is a good start. But what about:
- the floor that allows dancers to create power (let’s have a party and save Earth)
- the ab chrunch machine that allows to do sport (and save Earth!)
- the stairways that allows to elevate us (do sport and save Earth!!)
- creating power simply by wearing swim suits

Not to mention the famous Hamster power of course :-)

The bike that generates power
The dancefloor that generates power
The stairways that generate power
The solar paint that generates power
