33、utterflies migrate.DSecret shower singers are pleased: a new water-powered Bluetooth speaker from Ampere could help arrange your morning routine. Shower Power attaches to your shower head, making your water flow power a hydroelectric generator(水力发电机) that charges the battery of its Bluetooth speaker

34、. The device(器件) is similar to earlier water-powered speaker Hyquadio, but Ampere offers more options for controlling its speaker, with physical playback controls on the device and a battery-powered remote if the speaker is out of reach. When the speaker is attached and water is flowing, its 2500mAh

35、 battery should offer over 80 hours of playback at max volume(音量). With water off, that number falls to around 17 hours at max volume.

37、 shower head, if youre willing to purchase the device separately of course. Standalone water-proof speakers can also easily play music in your shower, but unlike Shower Power theyd have to be removed every time you need to charge them. Shower Power never has to leave your shower; its advantage is th

38、at it never requires you to remember a wire. For interested shower singers and podcast devotees, Shower Power launches today on Kickstarter for $59. You can add on the water-proof remote for $15 or an additional Droplet speaker for $20. Pre-orders will follow on Amperes site on November 15th and the
