one kid band
Megan & I decided to use the playfulness and motion of the salad spinner as a children’s toy. One Kid Band is a portable, modular toy that encourages individual expression and musical exploration. Kids can customize their own LED light displays, attach speakers and other interfaces and power them through their own physical activity.
Features:
- Creative play
- Learning by making
- Enables imaginative solutions
Before OKB, we attempted battery charging:
100 tugs ranging from 10-20V charged up AA battery 0.02V
We tested this twice, and voltage on battery rose 0.02V each time. Scenarios this might be implemented: gym, possibly physical therapy. But the salad spinner as a charger alone wouldn’t be very practical - it would be best to integrate with systems that are already utilizing a similar action and allow the charging to take place over time.
