Rocking Chair

How about a comfortable chair that you can read your favorite book in for hours after dark – without worrying about draining the batteries of your solar system? Well, here it is!

”Designer Rochus Jacob has harnessed all that wasted kinetic energy created by gently rocking in the chair and has used advanced nano-dynamo technology built into the skids of the chair to power a reading lamp above the user’s head. And the lamp shade itself is actually the light source – it’s created from OLEDs. Thankfully, the flat and bendable organic light emitting diodes don’t require much power to deliver enough light to make reading enjoyable.

If you use the chair during the day a battery pack stores that energy for night-time, which means you can read without rocking, if you want to."
