The MOOV chair is still a prototype at this point, but a working one. Under the seat’s cushion are 288 piezoelectric crystals that produce a charge when compressed or squeezed. So the act of just sitting down creates a surge of power, but you’ll need to remain restless and constantly moving to produce enough power to charge a phone. Forget a standing desk, the MOOV will give you an even better workout if your phone is dying.

Proof of fidgeting is surely that someone swaps out your chair (maybe to the next building…) but I can’t wait ’til they prove out a chair to make heartrate voluble to 150BPM a couple hours a day (without feeding the chair –debuglevel=13.) Users will start to gain a one-inch punch with their backsides or that armrest, if they’re somehow adapted to piezodevices…
psfk.com’s an interesting source too. Pfister Sotterhouse Fischer Koopers? Pseudoshell filekit?
