Recharge yourself and your electronics while relaxing with friends outdoors - Furniture for parks of the future

The SOFT Rocker, invented by the students of MIT (Massachusetts Institute od Technology) led by professor Sheila Kennedy, is a smart, clean energy charging station disguised as outdoor rocking lounge furniture, the web portal mojeneterijer.rs reports.

The SOFT Rocker leverages its environment in a dynamic manner by using the human power of balance to create an interactive 1.5 axis 35 watt solar tracking system. Soft power electronics designed for this project charge the 12 ampere-hour battery and store solar energy harvested during the day.
