Concept lets you take your music for a walk
If you lack a pet that you can walk and find yourself feeling somehow left out, fear not. If designer Inbal Tyagi has her way, you’ll be taking your music for nice romantic walks in the near future. Inbal Tyagi likes to design clean, smart and simple things. So naturally she gave the boom box some wheels.

And what we have is a large vacuum cleaner sized boom-box that is a rechargeable MP3 player powered by energy-batteries and a dynamo. Great in concept, but I have better things to do then push a wheel around and avoid awkward stares all day.

Dynamo Green keyboard uses kinetic energy

Dynamo Green keyboard uses kinetic energy
The Dynamo Green Keyboard is a pretty pretty interesting one. Supposedly it helps you lower your monthly power bill, but there’s one catch. You have to keep typing. That’s because it has the capability of harnessing the power of kinetic energy when typing, turning the energy into electricity, which will then help power the computer you’re using.

It’s a neat idea, but I think you would have to be a speed typer who never removes your fingers from the keys in order to get the job done. And how much would you save? I think what we have here is a cool keyboard that may or may not glow like it’s radioactive, for £59.99.
