The Energy Seed is a LED lamp that is powered by trashed alkaline batteries. All alkaline batteries are really bad for the environment if you don’t dispose of them properly. Designer Sungwoo Park & Sunhee Kim try to encourage people to throw their used alkaline batteries away into the Energy Seed. The lamp will collect any power left from all the alkaline batteries to power up its energy efficient LED light. [Yanko]

It seems like this item will used in public. I wonder how many people are willing a bring their batteries out and drop it here. Also, even if people are willing to, there might not be enough batteries to power up all of the lights. And when they went out, someone then have to put batteries in them, a burden for public tax.
It would be great if it’s powered by both household outlet and batteries, but then that defeat the purpose of making this. Oh well, i’m going in circle. Just a thought anyway, even though it doesn’t make much sense.
So what happens when the batteries are totally dead and leaking? Do you take them out and put them in the trash?
uhhh
Q, i hate to inform you, but this is meant for household use
not public use or outdoors. This is for people who use AA batteries for remote controls, toys, or other electronic devices. Home use
not public use
they wouldnt bring their batteries out
they would just put them in this
because it would be in their house
do you understand???
What happens when it’s full?
You still have to take the batteries to be recycled… why not just do that in the first place?
Hi my company wanted to import your lamps to Chile.
Email me if you are interested.
SO DO YOU JUST KEEP ADDING BATTERIES UNTIL THE THING IS FULL AND THEN TAKE THEM TO RECYCLER OR DOES IT EAT THEM AND MAKE THEM GO AWAY? NEEDS BETTER EXPLANATION.
Won’t Work
- Must require a moving negitive terminal
- Dead batteries increase current resistance, so 2 dead ones and 4 almost dead one won’t power anything.
- Will leak eventually and dammage terminals.
- Then they still must be recycled
This idea would work well in a electronics retailer where people will be amazed and encouraged to bring them in
great idea guys man you dont understand how many batteries i throw out each year
