Wind charger for cell phones

by David Allen on Saturday, June 16th, 2007

European cell phone operator Orange had been working together with the University of Texas to develop this wind powered cell phone charger.

It has been developed just as the music festival season begins in the UK, particularly the world famous Glastonbury festival, notorious for the torrential rainfall that it normally gets, and some top bands too!

This charger works on the principal that the windmill type rotor is placed on the top of the tents that all the festival goers love to take with them, but in order to stay in touch with home they would normally have to keep switching the cell phones off when they are not in use, now they can be left on all of the time.
