echos Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well it looks like engadget is calling the USB kinetic charging device talk about on the show an official crap gadget. http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/10/crapgad...energy-charger/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L337G33K Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 looks very funny but it can be the essential gadget for survival if your in the middle of a dense forest in the amazon and wanted to listen to music when inside the anaconda's stomach!

lazaruswws Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I don't think many would use this in public, without getting laughed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullArray Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Shannon actually picked this as one of her favorite products, right? I actually did not get the sexual references many have been making and thought it was as a great product if it could really work. I have the distinct feeling that if you don't move it fast enough, your device will charge, stop, charge, stop, charge, stop, charge, within a 10 second timespan..., which would kill the battery.

Razor512 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 it might have worked if it was designed like those watched which wind them self up when ever you move your wrist, that way it can be attached to like a best and it will charge while walking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Its just a bad design, *obvious* sexual references aside, it would have been far better to use a similar design to the clockwork radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhollyMindless Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I believe Snubs said that Chris showed it to her. I blame Chris. There was just something wrong when Darren held it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrCheeseit Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 some could possible hook this up to their computer while "searching the net" and save money on their power bill... its ingenious!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca662 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I agree the constant charging and stopping may destroy the battery. Although it may have a built in battery inside of it that acts like a UPS keeping the current stable. At least it should with a price point of $100.

audey Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I read about a DIY one a while ago that you put on (just under) your knees. it would have to have some sort of UPS thing but with a few capacitors and diodes you can make a basic surge protetor, and i'm sure you could add some small batteries that could keep it charging for at least a minute. the one I read about claimed to be able to power 5x USB voltage/amperage at once. I just cant find the link though. EDIT: just checking instructables(i think that's where it was) I found this cool usb berathing powered! http://www.instructables.com/id/Breath-powered-USB-charger/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
