The Potenco Pull Cord Power System uses good old arm muscles to generate electricity for small devices. It’s sort of like Trevor Baylis’ wind up tech, but instead of cranking, you pull on a cord. It’s apparently been selected for the famous $100 Laptop project, so who knows where this tech might end up. A pull and play iPod, maybe? [Via Gizmag]
Potenco has developed a patent-pending portable power generator that is always powered wherever you go. Simply pull a cord for a few minutes and generate electric power for up to several hours. This portable green power keeps electronic devices working all the time. It can be used to power mobile phones, PDAs, lighting products, and digital cameras among many other possibilities
