See-saw to power African schools

Seesaw BBC News

"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."

Earlier I had written about kids also powering water pumps.
