ABSTRACT
Our invention hybridizes ‘ball sports,’ including soccer, baseball, tennis, and etc., and
devices converting mechanical energy (through impact or shaking) to produce power while
playing or participating in sports. Modifications include embedding sensors into a ball to
identify the degree of kicking or hitting, or utilize them in the context of other computer or
AV-based games.

KEYWORDS
Soccket ball, Energy harnessing soccer ball,Piezo electric materials, Lithium ion battey,DC
motor, Gyroscopic mechanism, manifestation, super capacitors.

1. INTRODUCTION
The energy-producing ball embeds the coiled-impact sensors and/or shake-to-charge
technology, vibration, or other piezo-electric materials to convert the mechanical energy of
kicking, hitting, or bouncing into electrical energy. The energy can be stored internally,
internally on a removable device, externally, or in some hybrid. The ball can be a source of
light, contain housings for light sources or battery-charging adapters, or plugged into other
energy-collection/storage units. The stored energy within the ball can be used to charge
batteries, power light sources, cell phones, radios, or other electrical products

Our invention hybridizes the ubiquitous ‘ball sports’ including, but not limited to, soccer,
football, baseball, tennis, and other, and devices converting mechanical energy (through
impact, material deformation, or movement) to produce power while playing or participating
in sports. Modifications include embedding sensors into a ball to identify how hard it has
been kicked or hit, or utilizing them in the context of other computer or AV-based games.

The energy-producing ball is fitted with one or more of the following energy generators: one
or more conductive solenoids with one or more magnets internal to the solenoid that can
move upon movement of the ball (shake-to-charge technology), piezoelectric materials
covering some or all of the ball surface or subsurface layer embedded or attached to the shell
or near the outer edge of the ball that will allow the conversion of the mechanical energy of
deformation stemming from kicking, hitting, or bouncing the ball into electrical energy, or
 the inclusion of one or more eccentric rotors internal to the ball that move as the ball moves,
thus generating energy.

The energy can be stored internally, internally on a removable device (including but not
limited to a battery or batteries, capacitor(s), supercapacitor(s), some combination of those,
some combination of those and other energy storage devices, or other energy storage devices
alone or in combination), externally, or one or more of these possible positions.

The ball can itself be a source of light, contain housings for light sources or battery-charging
adapters, or it can be It It It is plugged in to some other energy-collection/storage unit. The
stored energy within the ball can be used to charge batteries, power light sources (including
but not limited to bulbs, LEDs, or electroluminescent polymers), cell phones, radios, or other
electricproducts.

2. EXPLANATION

Our invention is to harvest energy from a ball or other sports piece that faces shaking or impact
during play. This energy might be in the form of material deformation resulting from impact of
the ball on the ground, backboard, bat, foot, knee, head, or other surface, or might result from the
motion of the ball being used to pass a magnet or magnets through a conductive coil or coils in
or attached to some surface of the ball.

The ball used in the invention might be solid, partially solid, gas or liquid filled, an the shell of
the ball might be single or multiple layers, and might be made of rubber, leather, PVC, natural or
synthetic fabric, or other material, or some combination thereof.

One manifestation of the invention is the suspension of one or more conductive coils in the
interior of a solid or gas-filled ball such that when the ball moves, one or more magnets pass
through the coil or coils, generating a current. In a gas-filled ball, the coils may span from one
inner surface of the ball to another, or may be suspended by some other means in a way such that
one or more ends of the coils are not touching .

A second manifestation of the invention is where piezoelectric material is attached or embedded

in the shell of the ball and may cover all or some part of the ball's surface. The piezoelectric
material may also be embedded or attached below the surface of the ball, and may cover some or
all of the surface to which it is attached. Multiple layers of piezoelectric material may be
included in some or all of the ball surface, and may, but need not, be separated by some other
material.
 A third manifestation of the invention involves the incorporation of one or more eccentric rotors
into the ball, such that when the ball moves, the rotors turn and generate electricity.

A fourth manifestation of the invention is one where one of the first three manifestations are
implemented (or some combination of them) and the energy produced is stored in one or more
batteries, capacitors, supercapacitors, or combination of those or other energy storage devices.
These devices may be interior to the ball, attached or embedded in the surface of the ball, or on
the surface of the ball, or some combination thereof. These energy storage units may be
removable or not.

A fifth manifestation of the invention is one where the fourth manifestation is implemented and
there is an outlet or outlets in or on the ball allowing for connection to a device requiring power,
such as a cell phone, cell phone battery, portable MP3 player, light, portable computer, or other
electronic device.

A sixth manifestation of the invention is one where one of the first four manifestations are
implemented (or some combination of them), and the energy harvested is used to power a device
build into or attached to the ball. This device might be an accelerometer, pressure sensor, GPS,
speedometer, speaker, or other electronic device which may or may not have an output display.

2.1 MATERIALS USED

It is made of water resistant polymeric foam like material known as EVA-Ethylene vinyl acetate

It’s durable, water resistant, never needs inflation or deflation

It weighs 482g

3. BACKGROUND

Project launched February 26,

2013 Began production December 2013

Created by Harvard students: Jessica Lin, Julia Silverman, Jessica Matthews, Hemali Thakkar

Geared towards developing countries

Used to produce a light in countries that are not exposed to electricity, or where electricity is not
common

Wanted to create something “FUN”- not a reminder of something the user lacks
Used kerosene lamps in underdeveloped communities

4. WORKING

Play with the product like you would a normal soccer ball. Dribble it, kick it, and throw it, the
SOCCKET then takes all of the kinetic energy from rolling around and converts it into electrical
energy. It works similarly to a bicycle generator or windmill. Includes: pendulum,DC motor,
pcb, rechargeable lithium ion battery .As the ball rolls, the pendulum turns the DC motor, which
then charges the battery. There is a plug compatible with a DC adaptor, which allows either a
phone to charge.

4.1 POWER OUTPUT

The basic power output it can give is 6watts.

It can generate a maximum voltage of 24volts (direct current).

Operating voltage of the battery is 2.71 to 3.61volts

5. NEED FOR ENERGY HARNESSING PRODUCT

When people don’t have access to electricity, they have to rely on dirty or dangerous energy
sources like kerosene lamps and diesel generators.
Lack of electricity access has been linked to lung cancer and disease, perpetual poverty, low
rates of education, high rates of infant mortality, and greenhouse gas emissions.

6. APPLICATIONS

Soccer rules–with the possible exception of one enclave in North America known as the United
States. As Erik Distler writes in a June 2012 TriplePundit article, soccer (“football”) goes far
beyond just sport and athletics. It is a unifying force that drives community and social change,
two essential ingredients for sustainable development.

The stardom and celebrity of sport–of a Pelé or Beckham–grabs the spotlight for a time and sells
product, but it is in the dry, dusty fields of the developing world where perhaps the biggest and
most lasting impact of soccer happens–where kids learn the joy of play, even in the harshest of
circumstances. Their daily lives may seem to offer few solutions for a better life, but the simple
love of a game and a joyous sense of play offers solutions in unexpected ways.

Take the Soccket ball. At first glance it looks pretty much like any other soccer ball. As far as a
kid playing soccer with his or her friends in an empty field after school, it is like any other soccer
ball. But socket is different.

Soccket, the flagship product of New York City-based startup Uncharted Play, harnesses the
energy of play to literally light the path of a child’s education in the developing world. In fact, 30
minutes of play translates into three hours of light from the Soccket’s companion LED light.

The idea is at once startlingly simple and eloquent; kinetic energy is stored for later use as an
electrical source to power a light. Critics may–and have–assert that poverty or the energy crises
can’t possibly be solved by “kicking a ball around,” and they’d be right. They’d also be entirely
missing the point.

The conversation shouldn’t be how Sockket solves the energy crises, but rather what it can
contribute to a single village or even a single child. And that is where the idea of Soccket goes
beyond a product–becoming a process, an approach, a first step of many that will solve real
problems and have real impact in people’s lives. To really understand what all this means, let’s
start at the beginning.

7. PROS AND CONS

In most African countries, 95 percent of the population is living off-grid with no access to
electricity. With sOccket, people in developing nations will no longer need to walk 3 hours
simply to charge their cell phones. The power will—quite literally—be in their hands. The
sOccket ball can be used to light an LED lamp, or charge a cellphone.
sOccket will also benefit its users’ health: more than 1 billion people around the world rely on
kerosene lamps to light their homes and businesses when the sun goes down. Not only is
kerosene expensive, but its flames are dangerous and the smoke poses serious health risks. In
fact, respiratory infections account for the largest percentage of childhood deaths in developing
nations—more than AIDS, and more than malaria. Material color fades and scuffs quickly.It is
Not durable and Not used to charge other electronics fully. Not efficient.It is a bit expensive.It
has to be a dc plug.

8. FUTURE SCOPE

Durability of Material.

Make the same technology for other sports ○ Jump Rope, Basketball, Baseball, Football

Buy one, give one much like TOMS

Revise the DC socket so that other plugs may be used.

9. CONCLUSION

The SOCCKET is one of those simple-yet effective ideas that takes something as basic and
commonplace as a soccer ball to the task of improving energy usage and the living conditions
of those who really need it.
