Human powered gadgets that never run short of energy

Modern life is largely dependent on technology and we need constant supply of energy to power our gadgets, be they used at home and office or on the go, and keep up the pace with the fast moving life. We can easily keep our gadgets juiced up at home and office, but we at times have to do without our mobile devices while travelling especially when there is no power source around to power them. Addressing the issue, designers and researchers are working on harnessing human power to charge our mobile gadgets, so we do not fall short of energy even when travelling far off places. Here are some of the innovative gadgets that harness human power to remain juiced up all the time.
