We have had loads of eco friendly gadgets make their presence felt in the last week or so and they have all been such a pleasant addition to the green gadget line. We already saw several MP3 players powered by human movement and transforming that kinetic energy in to electrical charge. We also have seen a wonderful charger called ‘Kinetic Energy’ that coverts your work in to charge that can be used to charge any electrical gadget using an adapter. Now we have the twister. Well, that is not what it is called but it well might be the name it can take on once it hits the commercial market.

Product Design students from Newcastle TAFE, Australia, Bryn Seymour and John Rothapfel have come up with a novel group concept that promises to cut down on electronic waste and battery usage by loads. Instead of having to plug your device in for hours or even struggling to maintain charge when on a holiday, now you can just twist the camera to charge it up. By employing a self-powering mechanism in their tiny portable Twist Camera, the designers are hoping to take digital photography to the next level of eco-friendliness.

The camera simplifies most photo-functions by using a simple hole in the body to act as a view finder, a knob to wind for power, a button for clicking the snap and a multi-color LED user interface. What the camera lacks in integrated functions, it more than makes up by the way of a clever little USB plug that stays hidden under its winding cap and lets users edit and view snaps via their PCs. In theory this camera can support a resolution of up to 5MP and by keeping camera features minimal; the energy requirement is also reduced radically. This not only means that we get amazing picture quality but also makes sure that you won’t have to waste your time while plugging it in. It also saves on the bills and that is of course a bonus.
