Umbrellas were made a long time ago. They were made for keeping the

This made the rain run off the sides. It kept them dry when they walked. It kept them dry

was easy to put up and easy to put down. It was very light to carry.

brush on their fur. Geckos use their tongues to lick their eyes. They do not have eyelids,
so the tongue helps them to keep their eyes clean. Chameleons use their tongue to catch
insects. Their tongues are long and sticky. It makes hunting easy. If a goose does not

Recharge your cell phone as you ride

Most people recharge their cell phones from the power socket in their house. Some
people recharge their phone in their car. But what happens if you don’t have a car, and
you don’t have electricity at home?

Motorola’s boss, Ed Zander, thought about that very same problem. Then he asked his
company’s engineers to invent a bicycle-powered cell phone recharging system! Mr.
Zander showed the system to a large audience at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas, in January 2008.

Motorola believes that the bicycle cell phone charger will be especially useful in China.
A lot of people ride bicycles and a lot of people are buying cell phones there. However,
this invention is not only for the Chinese. Mr. Zander also hopes to sell the charger to
countries that have a poor electricity supply. For example, farmers in Senegal use cell
phones to check on crop prices, and health workers in South Africa use their phones to
check their patient records.

Mr. Zander didn’t mention students who ride their bicycles to school, but they could be
possible customers too. Perhaps students will ride an extra kilometer so they can text
their friends in class!
