It is simple ideas and applications like this Green Pass turnstile that will make the biggest difference in regards to living in an eco-conscious society. Putting kinetic energy to good use, it generates power to read transit passes.
Conceived by Viva Design Team at China's Guangdong Guangdong University, the Green Pass turnstile won first prize at Taiwan's 2010 Lite-On awards. With the slogan, "You'll find that power is in every where of our daily life," I can only hope more innovations like this one are implemented.
