So while developed countries produce electricity with Coal, Liquid Petroleum, Petroleum Gases, Nuclear, and others, Africa must resort to kicking a ball around in other to enjoy electricity? sad

Caveat - footballers playing electric ball are likely to have parkinson disease later in life! grin
Re: Harvard Students Invent Electricity Generating Football by Ajibel(m): 6:18pm On Jun 20, 2012
...And what are its disadvantages? We are not talking of that because i know such inventions could have devastating effects if misused. Yes we need electricity but can you introduce this to the ones in the village? The cost?

ayee001: What an invention? We'll definitely need thousands of those balls in Nigeria.
u joke..did I hear u say thousands..millions I guess wil do!
Re: Harvard Students Invent Electricity Generating Football by Whymee: 6:35pm On Jun 20, 2012
Very interesting.

This is just an advance application of magnet moving coil technology.

The to and fro movement of the magnet in a coil generate current at the two end of the coil, which in turn charges a connected battery.

Random movement of the football during play aids the to and fro.

The generated energy can only power a dc bulb of LED LIGHT common in the rechargeable touch, lantern etc we see around.

Some touch light already have this application.

I have such thought sometimes ago, but couldn't push further, I don't even know where to start.

Extended application of such product can be tie to any random or linear moving objects like

A car wheel, doors etc

NICE ONE.

Our own Havard students instead of inventing something that will help humanity, will come back and attacking government without any input on making the country better. E.g El-Rufia
