The S0ccket ball is a new concept soccer ball that contains a battery and generator. For everyone 15 minutes of play, the ball stores enough energy to light a small LED light for up to three hours.

“Early prototypes of the ball use an inductive coil mechanism similar to the technology found in shake-to-charge flashlights. The movement of the ball forces a magnet through a metal coil that “induces” voltage in the coil to generate electricity. For each 15 minutes of play, the ball can store enough energy to illuminate a small LED light for three hours. “

Anyone else think MLS should look into adopting the S0ccket ball to help power developmental players apartments?
