A radio that is powered by the motion of water flowing into a shower has been invented by Tango Group, a UK based company dedicated to developing and distributing alternative energy products to provide solutions used in everyday life.
The H20 water-powered radio, manufactured by Tango Group, the UK’s leading Green, Eco Friendly product distributor, clips onto the water pipe that runs up to a shower head, said people familiar with the invention.
The Eco Friendly radio is powered by the water pressure running up a pipe and uses micro turbine technology.
The company’s spokesperson said,
“The radio runs on energy generated solely through the flow of water, starting as the shower is turned on. It harnesses power that would otherwise literally go straight down the drain.”
Like the Wind-Up Radio the waterproof radio is going to be popular soon, hopes the company.
Vivian Black, a former director of Freeplay Energy Group, said,
“Having seen huge success with the commercialization of the Wind-Up Radio, we were constantly looking into new ways that further innovations in the radio sector could be made.”
“Creating the now-patented micro turbine technology, that allows the radio to operate solely through the flow of water, was the key to our new innovation; and thus the world’s first water-powered shower radio was created,” added Mr Black.
