Your Frantic Jumping Energizes This E-Rope Battery Charger

This concept from over at Yanko Design would charge batteries using a traditional jump rope action.

The charging mechanism would be placed in the handles, with the charging itself taken care of by the spinning rope. Just a few hundred hops, or 20 minutes worth, will charge the batteries 100%. Whether you'll have the energy required to do whatever it is you were trying to use after your marathon charging session is a question best left unasked of this concept.

    A pretty good idea in all honesty. Depends on the pricing though.

    This would have been a perfect idea back in then 80's and 90's for those who used Gameboys and Pocket Neo-Geos. Not so much now with plug and recharge internal batteries.

    I think the whole point of it, is that it resembles some other type of device.
