We can do this in Nigeria through NARICT in Zaria, Kaduna State, since the minister of power has failed the "not-a-rocket-science" test.
In tomorrow’s world, energy won’t just be created by scientists and engineers in power plants, but by children (or adults) playing a 5-aside football games outside. Companies like Uncharted Play are already creating gadgets that generate energy by people playing football or skipping. These innovations aim to democratize energy access, empowering individuals to create their own innovative and renewable green energy, while having fun and keeping fit. The highly localized off-grid power solutions are 100% clean and renewable, and don’t rely on the use of solar, wind or any other mainstream method of energy production.
Over 1.3 billion people worldwide living without a reliable access to electricity. And as a result, households use kerosene lamps, diesel generators, and wood burning stoves, which are harmful to the environment. These harmful energy sources cause nearly 2 million deaths per year. This is because living with fumes from 1 kerosene lamp is the equivalent of smoking two packs of cigarettes every day!

So what’s the electricity magic you ask? Inside the ball is a pendulum-like mechanism that captures the kinetic energy whilst the user plays. The electricity is then stored within the ball so it can be used as an off-grid power source.
30 minutes of play with the ball, equates to 3 hours of power to a simple LED lamp.
Can the poor child in the remotes afford such great gadget? It must be high-ended, expensive… and other adjectives you may find to buttress your faulty assumptions. Just remember the gadget was designed and built for the poor. It’s easy to assume that people living without suitable power sources may not be able to afford this great device. But, each portable kit contains 1 SOCCKET ball and 10 portable power lamps. This means that 10 children could play with the ball as a team at school and generate enough electricity for each of them to power up their lamps so they are able to complete their homework same night.
This looks to be a great innovation and we look forward to seeing this project grow and hopefully make a difference. The project is even being lauded by such dignitaries as Bill Clinton.
