Innovative ideas...
I had begun to think that innovation was a thing of the past but then little gems like this one pop up...

Re: Innovative ideas...
It's a great idea - but it isn't a new idea.

Re: Innovative ideas...
Many years ago there was a device where you hung a bucket of water/earth on a spool and it came down charging a battery to power a transistor radio. Used in Africa etc.
An 'inventor' reinvented this as the wind up radio and tried to sell it in a country where batteries and power are abundant. He later went on the invent the shoe powered phone charger. Reminds me of K-Tel in the 70's |
