  1. windup by zogger · · Score: 2, Interesting · on BBC Tests Pre-Commercial Toshiba Fuel Cell Laptop

    I sort of like the idea of a crank or windup clockwork spring generator for additional electrical supply, like the MIT laptop was originally supposed to have. If it is spring and clockwork, you don't have to wind for a long time, my baygen/freeplay radios (they have flashlights, too) you can wind completely up in less than a minute, then they give 30 minutes radio. I know it wouldn't last as long with a laptop, but it would be *some* emergency power as your battery started to go. There's even a foot powered generator you could get, throw it on the floor and just a slow pumping action acts as a generator, leaving your hands free and not bothering the computer. Something like this, perhaps a bit beefier the Stepcharger

  3. Something seems confused.... by jsimon12 · · Score: 1 · on Foot-Powered Laptop

    I think the military one is made for walking, the civilian one seems made for stationary pumping stationary pumping. And honestly this doesn't seem to be a huge "Revolution" as this just uses a small generator like design (like those hand pumped flashlights). Now if they made those piezo-electric generator shoes or insoles, that would be cool.
