Jun 15 2011: Sorry for checking in late...and sorry again if this has been covered - but I seem to remember someone invented a soccer ball that, through movement, generated electricity and stored it. The idea being that countries w/ little/no electricity - the kids still play a lot of soccer - so through doing that activity, they could produce enough electricity to provide enough light to read at night or something. Has that taken off at all?
