iYo is a yoyo-powered induction charger for your iPhone. It definitely brings more fun to charging your iPhone as what you need to do is to keep playing with the yoyo and it’ll produce electricity for juicing up your iPhone.
This conceptual charger was designed by Swedish designer Peter Thuvander, which is the first charger that makes use of yoyo-based charging mechanism.
The designer came out with this concept is simply because he thinks solarchargers are too boring, and some more solar chargers don’t work at night or in Sweden half the year. So this yoyo charger should make a big hit.
The colorful schematic also shows you clearly the internal structure of the iYo induction charger – how the magnet, rotating shells and batteries are arranged, so you could grab a picture on how the electricity is produced by induction while the shells and magnet are rotating. And also take a look at the yoyo action in the video below to know more about how it works.
