Abstract :
The decreasing power requirements of consumer electronics combined with an increasing environmental mindedness of consumers and the increasing use of portable electronic products has set the opportunities for human power as a viable alternative to batteries. No use of batteries means an environmental benefit as well as a consumer benefit. It will lead to new product concepts offering real portable products that can be used anytime and anywhere.
