Swedish designer Peter Thuvander has thought up one of the most interesting gadget charger designs I’ve seen in awhile. The iYo Yo Yo is—you guessed it—a yo-yo that charges electronic devices. The yo-yo, which is still only in the concept phase, stores energy in a lithium-ion battery which can be used to charge your iPod or iPhone.
If the iYo ever does end up on the market, it would be a great way to get kids (or adults) to inadvertently produce energy as a byproduct of having fun.

Mindblowingly awesome.
This is a perfect “tool” for kids! I would assume that it might be able to charge a cell-phone?
What ever happened to the stationary bikes that powered TV’s? (from the mid 80’s)
Fabulously fun - with a good message: that monotonous mechanical gadget-charging is the unimaginative way to do it.
When some effective way is found to harness some of the energy we burn off during sports, mechanical energy-gathering will truly come of age.
That is an awesome redesign.
