Rocking Chair
|
Generating power while relaxing. |
|
Reinhart Paelinck, Sebastian Schulte, Kevin Verheyen |
|
All three of us were interested in how we could profit energy in a silent and recreational environment. That is why we started with the idea of using the movement of a rocking chair to generate energy. |
|
Our starting point was personal furniture and we focused on three concepts:
1. A sort of climate cooling system where a fan is driven by our rocking chair.
2. We power a wheel and play a short movie or animation.
3. Creating a heaven full of stars by turning an umbrella.
