It plays music using 2,000 marbles

The marbles can also serve as cymbals or bass and a kick drum. A number of parts, including pulleys and funnels, are made with LEGO technic parts. The device also doubles as a wooden music box.
The device generates 400 mJ of energy
The device uses sweat to generate energy. The fingertips are some of the most sweaty parts of the body. They have over 1,000 sweat glands per fingerstip. When these glands are pressured, they produce energy that can be stored for up to 24 hours and then used to power an electronic watch. One study found that subjects kept the device on their fingertips while sleeping, producing 400 millijoules of electricity. This energy is approximately 10% of what the sun emits each second on Earth.
The device uses sweat from your fingertip
The device uses the energy produced by your perspiration to recharge your devices. The area where sweat is most concentrated in the fingertip is the largest. The fingertip is home to over 1,000 sweat glands, which can produce 400 mJ of energy. This is enough to power an electronic wristwatch for 24 hours.
The device works by using the dissolved lactate in your sweat to generate electricity. This energy can then be used to power wearable medical devices, such as blood pressure and heart monitors. The biofuel battery looks like a small pad attached to your fingers. It's made up of carbon nanotubes as well as hydrogel.

A 10-hour average sleep cycle can generate between 20 and 40 microwatts per index fingertip. Although it wouldn't power a smartphone, it could be used to power a wristwatch or other low-power electronic devices. You could even keep your wristwatch connected online for 24 hours. Because it has the highest concentration of sweat glands, researchers chose to use your fingertip. Each finger contains over 1,000 glands.
