The device plays music using 2,000 marbles
Sweden's musician made a musical instrument by dropping 2,000 marbles upon it. The marbles travel along tracks and contact drums, cymbals and vibraphones.

The device can produce 400 millijoules (or more) of energy
The device extracts energy from the sweat you have at your fingertips. The fingertips are among the most sweaty spots in the body, with over 1,000 sweat glands per fingertip. These glands generate energy when put under pressure, which can be stored and used to power an electronic watch for up to 24 hours. In one study, subjects wore the device on their fingertip while they slept, generating 400 millijoules of energy. This is about 10% of all the energy that the sun emits every second to the Earth.

The biofuel cell is a thin pad that attaches to your finger. It's made out of hydrogel, carbon nanotubes, and hydrogel.
A typical 10-hour night of sleep can generate 20 to 40 microwatts at each fingertip. Even though it won't be enough power to charge a smartphone with that much power, it could power a wristwatch, and other smaller-powered electronic devices. It could even keep your wristwatch online 24 hours. Because of its highest concentrations of sweat glands researchers used your fingertip. Every finger contains more than 1,000 glands.
