Can generate electricity: 30 minutes to generate electricity to light up LED lights for 3 hours

People are kicking SOCCKET

After 30 minutes of exercise, the power of the football will be able to supply a LED lamp for continuous lighting for 3 hours

Uncharted Play wants to distribute the football to poor areas as a sustainable off grid power supply

A few hundred of them are produced every week, but the inventors hope to expand production

According to foreign media reports, playing football is fun and exercise, but now it can provide electricity for your home.

A team of eight graduate students from Uncharted, a nonprofit social enterprise, Play, has invented a game that can generate electricity, and the power it generates can be used for a small LED lamp for continuous lighting. The researchers named the football "SOCCKET", which contained a pendulum. As the ball rolls, the pendulum swings, gathers momentum, and turns a connected generator into a rechargeable battery. After 30 minutes of exercise, the power of the football will be able to supply a LED lamp for continuous lighting for 3 hours.

In addition, the football is made of airtight, waterproof vinyl foam, which means that it is very durable, can be used for the most intense football game. The football that generates electricity is only an ounce heavier than normal football, and its inventor wants to distribute the football to poor areas as a sustainable off grid power supply. Now SOCCKET has been shipped to South America and North america. Many families unable to use stable electricity and teachers who teach students energy knowledge have begun to use this kind of football.

At present, there are hundreds of these weekly football was produced, but the team also hopes the United States to raise public platform Kickstarter to sell the football, in addition Uncharted Play company has launched a fund-raising activities, the purpose is to raise funds to buy more equipment to increase production.
