Battery is one of the most common things found in our lives as it is used to power most of the electronic
devices in today’s modern lifestyle. It comes in various shapes and sizes. However, it creates an environmental
issue as the number of used or discarded batteries increases from time to time. They need to be recycled or
disposed properly so that the chemical by-product could not harm human as well as nature. Therefore, the idea
of this product is to promote renewable energy usage into consumer lifestyle. This sustainable product enables
a person to use battery-powered devices without the need to replace the exhausted typical batteries. It acts like
a rechargeable battery without having to plug it into any power socket and provides renewable energy by means
of converting kinetic energy into electricity. This product enables users to use the harnessed electric energy
with their cell phones, mp3 player, torch lights, and many others. The electric charge will be stored in a small
compartment which can be connected to most of the important gadgets found today.
Salty fish dishes are one of the favourite’s main dishes for most Asians. In order to prepare a salty fish, certain
processes are required before the fish can be marketed and prepared for lunch or dinner. Traditional method of
drying and salting the fish is unhygienic and is still being practiced by the fish mongers or local villagers in
small capacities. This design overcomes bacteria growing during the process of drying the fish as well as to
speed up the process even during rainy seasons. The product uses fan for improving ventilated air circulations
that can simultaneously speed up the fish drying process. The salty fish drying device concept has potential to be
developed for applications to other ocean products like squids, prawns and even beef for the future.
