iPhone, iPod and some MP3 players have become one of the most ubiquitous gadgets for some people. You’ll always carry any one of these gadgets, while you’re on the run, or in an aerobic session. How nice it is if you could keep your gadgets juiced up while you’re aggressively moving your arms and legs?
The Orange “Dance Charge” is a green charger that is specially designed to convert kinetic energy produced by movement of your arms into electricity to keep your iPhone juiced-up. This “Dance charger” definitely comes in handy, just strap it on one of your arms, and keep it moving to get your gadget juiced-up.
The strap contains weighs and magnets inside, which are used to effectively convert the kinetic energy produced by your moving arms. Perhaps, not everyone is used to having this “Dance charger” strapped on your arm, while you’re dancing. But no worry, Orange has got a little Dance Charging Man on its line-up, which can do the “dancing job” on your behalf, to keep your gadgets juiced-up. Orange has only made a few prototypes of the “Dance charger”, which still remains unknown when they’re gonna roll out a “solid” one.
