crazy..but cool ..havard university engineers invent soocer ball that can generate electricty...lol!!!

this device could make you begin to appreciate soccer for a sport

This is one of those green inventions that captures energy. Invented by four engineers from Harvard University, the soccer ball harvests energy created from impacts. The sOccket has a built-in inductive coil that collects kinetic energy. After about 15 minutes of kicking the ball around it will produce enough electricity to light an LED flashlight for 3 hours.There is a need for inexpensive green inventions that provide off-grid energy solutions for developing regions such as Africa. In most African countries there is no access to electricity and more than a billion people around the world rely entirely on kerosene to light their homes. Jessica Lin, along with co-inventors, Hemali Thakker, Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews have received grants, including funding from the Clinton Global Initiative University, to develop a prototype of their invention. "Soccer is in every African country, so we thought, why not try to get a little more out of that energy," says Lin. The sOocket was successfully crowdfunded on kickstarter.Sources: nytimes.com; soccket.com - See more at: http://www.inventor-strategies.com/green-inventions.html#sthash.mX1HD0v7.dpuf
