Nowadays, many people are always on the run, or forced to travel in remote areas where sockets are not available.

In order to offer travelers unlimited access to clean, eco-friendly energy required to power their daily gadgets, Jung Inyoung has launched an innovative suitcase that stocks and exploits kinetic energy via its own wheels.

Apart from helping us carry around our belongings, the item can be used to power our laptops, tablets and smarphones. Devices can be connected to the portable battery. A LED light will reveal the progress, showing us how much energy the suitcase has managed to generate as we move it around.

Even though the power thus generated may not be enough to fully charge our beloved gadgets, it definitely is powerful enough to juice them up for a few hours more and help us stay connected.

If this invention were to be commercialized on a large scale, battery drainage would become one of our last concerns.
