Using Muscle power to go Green!

Using Muscle power to go Green!

Microsoft is reportedly coming with a hand powered remote control that doesn't need batteries. " When the user turns the knob, the microcontroller powers up and samples the inputs from the supply circuit" - read the news here.

Although this might appear trivial and too small for the Green initiatives, every small effort helps. On a lighter vein, imagine if:
- Every woman from rural India who grinds wheat flour or idli batter on the stone grinder is given a 'plug in' that will automatically convert hand power to energy.
- Human pulled rickshaws are incentivised to convert wheel rotations into energy
- Couch potatoes given an option to convert heat generated in the seat to energy
- Venom spitting and ferocious politicians converting their decibel levels into energy
- Bollywood dancers given an attachment inside their socks that will convert movements into energy
- Every road hump and crater fitted with an attachment that will convert vehicular thrust into energy.
