The Soccket soccer ball by Uncharted Play turns the kinetic energy created in a casual soccer game into electric light. Inside, there's a pendulum-like technology that converts the ball's movement into stored electricity for an on-board LED light. Young people in the developing world where electricity availability may be spotty can play in the day and read at night. The Soccket sounds like brilliant responsible design to us. Made in America, the Soccket is launching production via Kickstarter now.
