Self-Powering Devices


Self powering devices is the new break through that not many people are aware of. It's not actually a new technology. During the 60's wind up torches were very popular because people were amazed by the ease of being able to make your own power. These days instead of having to constantly wind up a torch to make it light up, you can wind it up to charge a battery inside which is a much more efficient way of doing it. These days they want the winding up part to disappear and have you do it unconsciously. For example Microsoft have created a television remote which you twist to choose a button or setting, but at the same time the battery in the remote charges. Self powering devices in particular are becoming a lot more popular due to global warming becoming a big issue. I think if self powering devices can become more efficient and power larger devices I think it could become much more successful.
