You probably well know of the focus that the world has been giving to alternative energy. And I am sure schools are now pushing more ways to power our electronics than ever.
Which brings us to this awesome DIY that shows you how to build a salt-water powered LED light. You can also substitute lime juice for the salt-water.

NEC, the Japanese consumer electronics company, is having a blast developing TV remotes that work off kinetic energy, meaning it needs no batteries at all. The kinetic energy derived from the user picking up the remote itself and pushing buttons are apparently enough to power the remote itself. Well, why didn’t they make this earlier, think of how much energy could have been save in the las
