It is great when technology and renewable energy sources are combined. And when someone present charger for Your cellphone where You can charge its battery at the road it deserves attention. You certanly heard of solar chargers for Your cellphones. But we found maybe the most interesting charger which charges Your cellphone battery riding a bike.

Aaron Latzke and David Delcourt have designed a charger called The Atom, and they presented to public by crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. They manged to collect $120.000 although their aim was $85.000. Also, they decided for every 10 selled chargers give 1 to person living in developing country.

This product costs $99. The principle is quite simple: You put it on Your bike and it uses spining wheels energy. So, more You travel more You charge Your cellphone battery.
