Power from the people

Article Abstract:

Clockwork was a pioneering precision technology, and could again become fashionable. Freeplay is developing landmine detectors and a global positioning system for the US military, using clockwork technology. Freeplay has developed rechargable batteries, an improvement on simple spring technology. The company is also developing an ultracapacitator able to store electrical energy and retain it over an indefinite period, allowing handsets to be free of degradable components.
