The Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone concept is made out of aluminum and glass. In the center you get to see the kinetic energy harvesting unit, which is similar to those in fancy kinetic watches. Turning the phone upside down a few times will juice the unit up enough to make and receive calls and text messages (which is about all the phone will do). I like it. Design is a little weird, but that's to be expected. And you know what else should be expected? Dinner on the table when I get home. I mean I've got two dogs and three cats and all they do while I'm at work is sleep their asses off. Is it too much to ask for them to put a damn Eggo in the toaster? I know those fucking cats get on the kitchen counter when I'm not around, don't tell me they couldn't do it.

A couple more pictures of the phone after the jump.

Join this with the coconut, and you can have some strange warped version of Survivor

My God, that's enormous! I really need to teach my wife to say that too.

I actually think that's pretty cool looking. It's very sci-fi. If it could be used to blast aliens as well, it would be the perfect gadget.

I like the idea but not the design.

What group of people do you think would really purchase one of these??

would be cool if it could run off the energy of just it moving around in your pocket, like the friction off your jeans or something.
