Design a new way to power something you use everyday.
Take a look around you. Something YOU use or do every day could be powered differently.
Your challenge this week is to DESIGN A NEW WAY TO POWER something you use everyday. Maybe it's your mobile phone. Maybe it's the light you use to read at night.
Your solution should be cheaper, or more sustainable, than your current power source.
It's an ambitious challenge -- but you're an EVOKE agent. You know that even if you fail, you can learn from your efforts... and maybe even inspire someone along the way.
Your objective: Design a new way to power something you use every day.
Share your design in a blog post, video or image. For legendary honors, make your idea real -- and show us in photo or video your brand new power source in action!
This objective is worth +10 resourcefulness.

Toothbrushes! Everyone (i hope!) brushes their teeth 1 to 2 times a day! i think with every brush that you take it should make power that can charge batterys or even your phone! i think that would make a lot of energy in a green way

Smart phone. You can almost see everyone typing away on their small devices, but we do have to charge them. Instead of plugging the charger into an outlet and putting energy into our phones that way, we could find a creative solar way to charge them.
-
-
Hairbrush. Girls use a hairbrush every single day of their lives until they die. Since girls always use a hairbrush the hairbrush should produce energy with every stroke.That would create a lot of energy.

Since we use writing utensils everyday we should have pens and poencils that when you write with them they send some energy to the power souce of the building in wich you are in.

Instead of using oil in your cars we should find another way to power our cars. an example being solar power or vegtiable oil or some fuel that will be safe for the enviorment and other living things.

Shoes. This is one of the most popular things used throughout the world. Now a days walking is little and driving "controls" the world. Well, say there were shoes that created electrical curcuits every step. There are already shoes that have technology in them, so why not use it for a good, affective cause! Also this will cause mqny people to walk and get in shape because they want to do something that will help the world and our community.

I do not always have an ice box for my lunchbox. It would be a really good idea to have a solar powered lunchbox that uses the suns energy to create something cold. like a little fan in the lunchbox powered by the sun.

We could create solar power generators for phones and other electrionic devices to power them without causing any enviormental damage. I am talking about those solar panals on a calculator.

We could create a way that phones had 'solar energy' cases. Then, it would be easier to charge, ( point it up to the sky ) and you wouldn't have to use as much electricity.

My idea is to take a Coke bottle (NOT a can!!!) and paint the inside with flame retardant chemicals. Then, I cut a h*** in the bottom end of the bottle and stick in a pipe, which is connected to something, anything, that makes sparks. when this is turned on (it's battery powered) and then set inside of a car, it powers the engine. Now, there are already electric cars, but this is something else entirely: When the car and the device are turned on, the wheels on the car turn, right? Well, THESE wheels have a special sensor/transmitter in them that has a connection to the power generator in the owners house. Every time the wheel turns, the sensor transmits a signal to the generator and puts more energy into it. This is a two-for-one deal: drive your car without having to pay for gas AND lower your energy bill!

I think a good way to create power just by going along with your normal day is by making a bike that somehow connects to a building or a house and everytime a different part of the wheel (while it is spinning) touches the ground, it will create electricity from the friction on the ground that will go to the building/house. This will also encourage to ride bikes instead of cars and that would be less carbon dioxide in the air and more fit and athletic people!

A lot of people use electric toothbrushes because they are better for your teeth than regular toothbrushes. But, some people don't get them because they are more expensive. But, if there was an electric toothbrush that could make energy when used, it might be a little more expensive to buy but would quickly pay off and end up saving you money while you end up with MUCH cleaner and whiter teeth!

A lot of kids love to play basketball, right. So (sort of copying off Jessica Lin), what if there was a baskatball that produces energy. You could use it all the time, at home, school, and at any organized place.

I use a flat irorn for my hair. If a special myterial that is pwered by heat is placed under the plates it could power the flat iron as well a recharge it.

Every time you open and close a door it makes energy for the wh*** house. It will work because a special door mat will be placed under every door and when the door opens/closes it will cause friction then be converted to energy to use for the house.

I realized how people everywhere walk. OBVIOUSLY. So, I thought to make shoes that collect electricity every time you walk, run, jog, etc. There could also be a plug source on it. So when you walk, you get electricity and you can plug in any source.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More
The meal
It is 7'oclock, I was late home from work due to an assignment that i wanted to get ahead on. By the time I get home I am feeling extremley tired and I cannot be bothered to make a proper meal. I walk to the fridge and open it to see what there is for me to eat. All of the out of date foodstuffs have been automaticaly thrown away by the fridge, they will be recycled tomorrow as animal feed or something. I see i have organic local eggs and some local cheese. Foods are vacc** sealded for easy…See More
Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
