    President Obama Harnessed Energy Through A Ball Last Week

    We got our hands on this kinetic energy powered ball.

    Remember when the President bounced this ball off his head last week?

    That ball is called the Soccket

    The Soccket was created by Jessica O. Matthews and Julia Silverman in 2008 when the two paired up on a project during their junior year at Harvard College.

    Impressive engineering makes it possible for the kinetic energy to be converted into electricity

    This ball is powered by play. For every 30 minutes of play, the ball will power an LED lamp for three hours

    By kicking the Soccket around, developing countries can create free and clean energy

    We kicked around one of the only Soccket's in the U.S.
