Sudha Kheterpal was a professional percussionist for 20 years, so she knows firsthand how much energy spent on it to create a rhythm. Now she wants to harness this energy to produce electricity.
Kheterpal invented Spark is a musical instrument that sounds like a maraca, but it is as useful as a solar battery. The instrument contains three chambers. The two outer beads are filled, and the average comprises a magnet which moves along a copper coil, generating energy. 12 minutes of the game on Spark enough to provide work LED flashlight for an hour.
Kheterpal, who played with such renowned artists as Faithless and Dido, working on a prototype of the tool more than a year, and recently visited Kenya to experience it? According to her, people really liked her invention.
Now she hopes to get enough money on Kick starter to complete prototype production run of finished tools, and distribute several thousand of its units in Kenya.
