The More+ Bus Handle by Junjie Zhang is here to alleviate the most aggravating of feelings--when your iPod runs out of battery halfway through a [long commute on public transit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tank-series). This device essentially uses a form of [kinetic power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crankspeaker) and piezoelectric ceramics to generate juice for your device as you swing from those loop handles on a bus.

The More+ Bus Handle doesn't just power your music player, but [every gadget on board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-power-strip-1). It works off of a network; the more moving handles, the more energy that is harnessed for everyone's gadgets.
