Crank Charged Media Player


Trevor Baylis after creation of Wind-up radio has now designed a wind-up media player, which was named the Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player. Being a usual media player with all the basic functions it has something that makes Eco Media Player different from all the rest of media players. Its charging means can be done in several ways for this gadget.

The first and one of the most convenient ways is to charge the player via USB, all you need to do is just plug it into your PC's USB port. But what are you going to do when you are away from a computer or any electricity? The answer is simple for this media player gadget. It can be charged by hand crank. The inventor says that one minute of hand cranking will charge the device for another 40 minutes of work.

A pretty good solution actually, you work it plays. That's a good idea to make people work a bit, cause we have become so lazy that we don't do anything ourselves. The time has come to make us move more and more. A useless media player function is a start; let us see what will be next.

It has to be a really good media player, because its price is very high, around $ 350. You can get an iPod Video for less money than that, so I wouldn't buy it anyway. 

However, some guy in the jungle might be interested in buying this, but where is he gonna get it from and where is he gonna get money for this?
