The Lifeplayer in Kenya. Photo Lifeline Energy. This big, ugly gadget is the LifePlayer, and it can change people's lives. It's a solar-powered five-band radio and MP3 player designed to be used as a teaching aid in the developing world. Currently, the units are being tested in Rwanda where the government has decided to switch the nation's language from French to English. I know — crazy, right?
The LifePlayer can be run from either a removable solar cell or by turning a hand-crank.
