Eco Gadgets: Eco – Twinkle lights up simply by cranking
Anupam | Nov 14 2009

Eco Factor: Prototype light powered by human energy.

We often try to encourage our readers to replace disposable batteries in their electronic gear with rechargeable ones to reduce the toxic waste batteries carry along in the landfill. Industrial designers on the other hand are trying to figure out concepts that don’t require batteries at all.

The Eco – Twinkle Light by industrial designer Kenan Wang is one way of bidding adieu to batteries. The prototype light is equipped with a hand-crank mechanism that uses human power for a recharge. The rotation of the handle provides all the necessary energy for lighting up the device.
