Eco-Friendly Chukka MP3 Player is Charged by Motion

Portable electronic devices are very popular today, and the technology used to produce them is also advanced and is improved every day. We can find daily new gadgets with various shapes, for different purposes and different priced.
Lately, most wanted gadgets are those that use alternative energy sources to recharge. Recently I found a similar device, and I really enjoy it…Many times we use to play with things that we keep in our hands. For example, when I talking to someone or when I am thinking, I use to play with my car keys (spinning them on the finger). I think that each of us has a similar habit…and on this idea was based Thomas Mascall an industrial designer, when he created this eco-friendly MP3 player called Chukka.
The idea of this eco-friendly mp3 starts from what I have explained above: this device can generate energy for itself from motion. Such kinetic generators we have already presented on MyGreenTreasure and we will continue to do this thing, because these kinetic generators are very effective devices (does not depend on solar intensity, wind power or other factors – we have just to move them and the electricity is produced, anywhere, anytime). Actually this device is a kinetic music player that can easily be used in sporting activities, when running or walking, and the energy is produced in a very easy way. In the next movie you will see how actually this nunchuck-inspired kinetic generator looks like and other kinetic devices similar to this one you can find on these older posts(Kinetic charger 1 , Kinetic charger 2 , Kinetic charger 3) :

Can generate energy for itself from motion! So incredible! Right now most of the portble electrinics need to charge, such as some car DVD player. But I believe it will be more and more improved day by day!
Yep – I would agree with that.. Thanks for the line.
