See-Saw To Power African Schools
A really creative and useful idea to help power African schools in a clean way...
A young inventor is hoping to tap the unbounded energy of children in a playground to power schools in Africa.
Design student Daniel Sheridan has created a simple see-saw which generates enough electricity to light a classroom.
The device works by transferring the power, created by a child moving up and down on it, to an electricity storage unit via an underground cable.
The Coventry University student has won £5,500 in funding to develop the idea.
