Abstract: English inventor Trevor Baylis released his pioneering Freeplay wind-up radio in 1996, designed to improve communications in Africa and slow the spread of AIDS. Since then he's gone on to develop a range of energy-producing products such as piezoelectr...
Abstract: Come on - is this a wind-up? A great concept, just not as well implemented as it could be in this first release. Its been over ten years since Trevor Baylis unveiled his Freeplay wind-up radio, and now hes bringing the concept up to date with the E...
Eco-friendliness; general functionality; usefulness; no batteries required; doubles up as a portable phone charger
Price; no belt clip; line-in socket should be 3.5mm; torch is utterly pointless on an MP3 player; included earphones are abysmal
