iPhone yo-yo charger

A good one for a Friday afternoon - using induction to charge an iPhone, courtesy of a yo-yo. The "iYo", to be precise.Very stylish it looks, too.

Created by Swedish designer Peter Thuvande, he was looking for ways to charge his new iPhone. "And since solar chargers don't work at night or in Sweden half the year, this should be a smash hit," he writes.

"And of course there is a small onboard LI cell to store the electricity generated. So no need to charge as you yoyo. Yoyo and then charge."

He states the induction technology is based on Reelight's battery-free bike light technology.
