Even the world is reading reams on perils of climate change and sky-rocketing figures of pollution, the common man is doing little to show his sensitivity towards these things. Non-profits and governmental organizations across the world are either imposing penalties or giving rewards to make people adhere to green standards. Too bad man has to be induced with incentives to work towards his own well being. Here is green gadget concept that rewards the user for choosing cycle as means of transport. The ‘Re;Energy’ concept by Jin Sik Kim and Bo Sung Seo from Korea is a bike designed to generate usable energy as its front wheel is pedaled by the user.
This conceptual bike can be dubbed as a mini generator of energy as when the wheels are pedaled, the rotational energy gets stashed up in front wheel which would have a socket to plug in small electrical devices. This makes me imagine a scenario where in say your cellphone or laptop suddenly goes ‘out-of-battery’ on you and you might go bicycling for like 2 3 kilometers just to generate enough power to juice up your gadgetry.
I think the gadget concept is pretty neat. It serves the purpose on encouraging people to go bicycling for short distances and in turn power their small electrical devices just anywhere.
