      How could people become their own renewable source of energy?

                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.
