Charging the iPhone's battery is ... the bike

A professor at Tsinghua University in Taiwan has created a bicycle for recharging the iPhone.

The car relies on physical activity to generate energy, enough to charge three iPhone handsets within 1 hour of cycling around the area.

Professor Wang Chun-hsiu has been assisted by a factory in developing this device. In one hour of cycling, the device can generate 80 watts of electricity, and with an athlete, the amount of electricity generated can be 3-5 times more than normal people.

Any bike can be equipped with a converter to charge the iPhone. However, there is a disadvantage that this device can not be used for foldable vehicles.

Currently, Professor Wang's bicycle is being exhibited at Tsinghua University.
