Inspired by traditional rocking chair designs, the i-Rock's updated style and technology provides so much more than a conversation starter:
Power generating rocking chair charge you iPad or your iPhone while you rock features a generator that transforms movement from the rocking chair into power equipped with an iPad stand built in speakers in the back rest in 60 minutes you can recharge an iPad or other Apple devices – 3 to 35% handcrafted out of Swedish pine wood comes in 5 Different colors
In most cases movement and friction's natural energy is lost, i.e treadmills, exercise bikes etc. However the i-Rock's ingenious play on the law of physics – movement and friction – allows for the i-Rock rocking chair the ability to create enough energy to charge an i-Pad and other Apple devices. Rock on!
