I heard a story on NPR about a month ago, about a company that had designed a soccer ball that stored energy from being played with, and could power a lamp. However, the design was poor and the balls fell apart within a month. And as it happens, the cost of providing the ball ($60) was the same as hooking up a house to the existing electrical grid.
