Siva Atom

A mate showed me a video for the Siva Atom a while ago and I've decided to post it because I think it looks great.

According to their website the Atom is:  

"...a lightweight, highly efficient bicycle generator and rechargeable battery pack designed to power virtually any of your electronic or mobile devices via USB." Siva Cycle website

Through Kickstarter the Atom campaign raised $126,082 USD (target 85,000) between April and May this year. Looks like these are gonna start showing up on rear wheels around November and I want one.

HOWEVER

I was a little disappointed to learn that I won't be able to use it to power my usb enabled toy hamster + wheel; the faster I type the quicker the hamster runs. I know, catch up NASA. Please take a moment to watch the attached video complete with appropriately annoying music, German subtitles and one helluva hand model!
