Monuments to Touch for Luck


Read about ten monuments around the world that have become well-known as places for luck. The idea is that you should rub, kiss, or pat the monument, which leads to extreme polishing of certain parts. Shown is Ireland's Blarney Stone, the most famous of all, which should be kissed upside down! Link -via the Presurfer

Good work identifying a source of energy but as a climber/hiker/guide I can promise you the last thing a person will want to wear is a pack that bounces, even little bit, and frame packs hold the load out from your body which can make the load more uncomfortable and seem heavier too.

Neat idea, but 30 seconds of winding a clock work generator can produce almost as much electricity for an hour, I suspect that this will not be very popular.

Okay- A bouncing pack that weighs...How much...? The construction that is pictured there looks like it weighs at least 40 pounds on it's own. So that would bring the total equal weight on ...120 pounds or something...?

...Perhaps for the time being better keep sticking with spare batteries........
