All mobile users would probably have seen mobile phone chargers that can power multiple devices at once and sync data between your phone and a PC. They also would have even heard some rumblings about wireless chargers that power devices over the air or solar-powered cell phones. Have you seen wind-powered cell phone charger?
According to the sources, a U.K.-based telecommunications firm, has announced plans to launch The Mobile Wind Charger, a mini turbine that latches on to the top of a tent and stores power in a separate "control box" that users can plug into when their mobiles need power.
The charger, which weighs roughly one-third of a pound and is small enough to fit into a backpack. In an environment with consistent 12 mph winds, it would take roughly 24 hours to charge an average cell phone.
The charger was designed for use in outdoor settings, like the Glastonbury Festival, to provide environmentally-friendly energy for cell phone users and others who may want to stay connected but don't have access to electrical outlets, according to sources. The smaller the blades on a turbine the longer it takes to generate power, so the Mobile Wind Charger may not be as effective as a traditional power unit; however, it'll do the trick when there aren't any electrical outlets to plug into. No official release date or pricing details have been set.
