SMK has developed a prototype TV remote control that comes in a totally unexpected form factor – that of a water gun. What makes this stand out from regular TV remotes is the fact that it does not need a battery to function. All the controls are operated via the trigger, relying on an electromagnetic induction coil, high speed rotation gears, a power circuit, and an infrared light emitting unit to work. Pulling the trigger on the remote will cause the coil to rotate at a high speed via its built-in gears. This will in turn generate power that helps the remote get all busy. Pulling the remote once will change the channel, while a couple of consecutive pulls results in turning the TV on or off.
