I've Got the Power
I've Got the Power
Description:
Remember the song ‘I Got the Power’?
Climate change and energy conservation are making everyone think about how they use power.
The bicycle has long been admired as an ideal form of transportation. Hand crank flashlights, radios, cell phone chargers, and the one laptop per child initiative, all use hand winding generators as a means of generating energy.
What about you? Have you ‘got the power’?
Save energy and get fit by creating an energy saving device that relies on your own personal power!
Create a picture of your own personal powered energy saving device and attach it with a description in 250 words or less.
Have fun with this, but make sure that it’s a workable device that could be used to replace an existing energy-using appliance or vehicle.
