bicycle voip

i am very interested in how technology figures into the big picture of developing nations. one of the main problems right now is not delivering computers, but find sources of power for those computers. scientists and designers need to start thinking outside the box of superpower-suburbia to solve problems that they have not often faced themselves. inveneo, a non-profit org, has come up with a bicycle powered system to provide voip, email and web browsing. 15 minutes of biking translates to 1 hour of uptime. a good solution for the overweight gamers you know as well ;]

[thanks make]
