The Magic Cube is the most puzzling charger I've seen in awhile (pun intended). Zheng Weixi wants to charge your brain as well as your phone. The Magic Cube gains power by being played with. Simply touch it until it gets its satisfaction and watch your phone or other electronic devices start recharging.
