Shake Your Power

I've developed a prototype musical instrument - a percussion shaker - that converts the energy from playing it into electricity. It's called SPARK. 

SPARK enables people to generate electricity so that they can plug in a light or charge up a mobile phone, simply through having a music jam.

In places like Kenya, where 75% of the population live without access to electricity, having the ability to read at night or charge up a mobile phone gives people the chance of a better education and also access to services like the revolutionary mobile phone banking system, M-PESA.
