There was a time way back when kinetic or self-winding watches were a big trend as they basically allowed your body's movements to power your watch. Those who moved a lot, practically never had to replace their watch batteries. Working off of this concept with a miniturized power generater, the iMove Charger charges itself from the movements of your body. The iMove charger should be quite portable and measures in at just 6.35mm thin. The developers currently have the iMove Charger for crowd-funding on Indiegogo at just $50 (RM163) for the lowest device pledge while they hope to sell the device for retail at $80 (RM260). However, the project has only managed to raise $3956 of their $25000 funding goal, and there are just 8 days left (ending on 12 May 2014) as of the time of writing this article.
The devs have hinted that the successful crowd-funding would allow them to get to market quickly, so we assume that even if it does fail, we should eventually see the iMove Charger. While we do like innovative products, bear in mind that there doesn't seem to be any working prototypes yet so treat this with some skepticism and a pinch of salt for now. If you're still set on supporting the iMove Charger then by all means, check out their Indiegogo project site.
