Charge Up Batteries By Pedaling Away Under Your Desk
Looking for a really alternative way to power your gadgets? Here's a an innovative and totally renewable option out of China that lets your legs do the charging. Called "ENERGIZED by YOU," the roughly $140 gadget is a simple pedal-powered generator tied to a small, removable battery. Pedal away and you'll charge the battery up. Then, you can remove the gadget from the pedal base, plug in your gadgets, and let them pull some juice. It also has a little LED flashlight built-in that (if we're reading the Google-translated page correctly) gives a whopping 72-hours of light per charge. Impressive -- if you don't mind carrying around a giant, brick-shaped flashlight. [Source: BoingBoing]
