Potenco
The Potenco PCG1 pull-cord generator creates electricity for portable gadgets with far greater efficiency than hand-cranked devices. The PCG1 is the geek-chic version of a generator for the developing world. It weighs 14 ounces, has both an internal NiMh battery and a mini-USB output jack and can convert 2 minutes of effort into 40 minutes of cellphone talk time.

Beat Bike
Beat-Bike v.1 is a bicycle-controlled drum machine.
Sensors mounted on a bicycle frame are activated by spinning the bicycle's front wheel.
Once activated, they trigger a momentary sounding of a single drum sound- kick drum, snare, tom-tom, and “disco-bleep” from a kids' toy drum machine. As the wheel spins, the sensors are triggered in a sequence which becomes an audible, repeating drum beat.
The rider controls the tempo of the beat as well as the sequence of sounds from controls mounted on the handlebars.
Because the sounds are controlled by riding a bicycle, Beat-Bike v.1 rewards exercise and coordination with funky outer-space disco beats. And it's fun!

inDOOR Energy Harvester
The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a low cost, low profile mechanism that converts rotational kinetic energy from opening and closing a door to usable electricity.It contains a circuit to store this electricity, measure what is produced and dynamically graph and monitor its progress from a website.
The stored electricity can then be used for any of the buildings off grid needs, such as emergency sign-age, cameras or lighting.
The inDOOR Energy Harvester is a part of the unconscious power plant project, which seeks to bring awareness to the potential for energy generation and usage as a part of daily routine.
If we start looking at doors as a source to contribute a small slice of the energy we consume everyday, then eventually the rest of our actions and environment becomes possible too.

Harnessing Human Energy With Floor Tiles
“Imagine a nightclub where dancers generate the venue�s electricity just from the impact of their steps. With Redmond�s innovative flooring system, this vision of a human-powered energy source may be close to a reality. The floor tiles, cast in durable concrete and recycled glass, are fitted with piezoelectric brass-reinforced ceramic plates covered in nickel electrodes. With the impact of each footstep, a metal pointer inside the tile compresses the ceramic plate, generating an electric impulse. The resulting voltage activates four LED lights, visible through the glass surface, allowing energy-generating participants to see the power of their steps.” Source
