Wind and Solar Power Tent!

Here’s a cool tent that can power your gadgets through its wind turbine and solar panels at the top of the tent.

Although this concept looks to be for commercial use right now, they should really make a mini-version for consumers like me who take their tent to the beach. Perhaps some bigger, lighter solar panels covering the whole 1/3 of the tent might be good for solar beach laptoping.

you’ll be able to power your phone at a dedicated renewable energy tent. Built by Orange, the ‘recharge Pod’ is a seven-metre high tent with 500 watt solar panels and a 500 watt wind turbine on the roof that’ll generate electricity for dead mobile phones.
