If you were aware of the principle that everything in this world is a manifestation of energy, you’d know exactly how to produce it or put it to good use. Energy is renewable through the most unconventional sources and one of them is mechanical energy. Take for example this Energy Ball that uses Piezoelectric material to convert impact energy into electricity to power an attachable reading light. If you happen to live on one of the hillocks in Brazil, where their electricity wires and power grid are entwined in the most complicated and irretrievable manner, the Energy Ball could come in very handy. This is done by the piezoelectric substances on the ball that can convert mechanical signals into electrical signals and vice versa. All you need to produce some electricity is kick a ball!

The electricity thus collected inside the ball can be used to light a bulb that could illuminate your study sessions later in the day. This is the epitome of the altered proverb, “Both, work and play, makes Jack a versatile boy!”
