Water powered radio
The shower's water flow powers your radio.

A device (much like some fogless mirrors) that sits between your shower head and the wall that contains a small turbine which then powers a radio so that you can listen to tunes in the shower without dealing with batteries.

differnt idea, similar discussion [barnzenen, Oct 04 2004]

       Cool idea. Additional feature suggestion: a light, for those times when the power is out and you need to take a shower.

       I personally don't want one since I don't listen to music in the shower, but it's just gimmicky enough to be appealing.

       I like this. I prefer a bath to a shower, can you put this radio under the running tap. ssshhh don't tell that chap who did the wind-up radios, he will be making these by next xmas.

       Don't think so, this is low voltage stuff we're talking about. (WTAGIPBAN)

       Forget the on and off switch too.... water on music starts, water off music stops, tune it the same way you ajust the massage level of the shower head.

       Why not place the whole radio inside the shower head? Have the controls for the radio situated around the holes in the shower head. I only suggest this because I have a shower radio (although not powered by water) and it always slides down the neck of the shower head.

       We touched on that in one of my ideas [Rods]...<link>

       I remember Rods powering a segway that way, way long time back. You asked for it, RT.
