DIY iPod Bicycle Charger
by Warren McLaren, Sydney on 12. 7.05
A while back we brought you news of Geek Technique’s DIY Wind-up iPod Charger. Now Mark Hoekstra is back, with a further adaptation of the concept. This time he takes a notebook battery, a mouse, a bicycle dynamo and sets out to fashion himself a bicycle charger for his iPod mini. Does it work? Well, not at first, but Mark is persistent and eventually gets a positive result and his testing continues on. Check out the multitude of pics portraying how he fabricated this little wonder. ::Geek Technique
Cute idea, but its still very unsafe to be walking or cycling with headphones on. But it's not like anyone cares about personal saftey these days.
you dont have to be listening to the ipod while it charges. it can be charging on your way to the library or work etc.
