Serious Innovations

What can I say about Sony that others haven't said before. It's simply an amazing company that's gone through their share of ups and downs, but will always be a part of our modern culture.
From the days of the "Walkman", to "Betamax", to "Playstation", to "AIBO", to "Blu-Ray", and now grape juice Power Converters.
Yes, freakin' grape juice... (or any other type of high fructose juice out there) The website is in Japanese, so for ease, copy the URL and paste it to Google Translator if you have a minute.


The premise is any sugars can be converted into enough electric current to power a simple electronic device.
Click on the video on the website and see for yourself.
With a little bit more work, we may see the last days of the AA battery and instead, have connecting tubes running out of our Coca-Cola bottles.
Alright, maybe not. But it's way cool to think it...
