Forget plugs, charge your mobile with a WIND TURBINE: Portable propeller harnesses breezes to power up a phone
Hunting for your charger and a free plug socket could soon be a thing of the past.
This is according to two electricians, who have designed the worlds first portable turbine phone charger that lets people charge their mobile phone using wind power alone.
In fact, the generator can power up any item that requires a USB charger for power.
Called Trinity, the device doesnt quite mimic the shape of your usual wind turbine.
Instead, the product folds together into a 12-inch (30 cm) cylinder.
It then unfolds into a vertical turbine that be used to charge USB devices.

This is just too cool
I want one for sure!!!!!!!!
I need one just encase I'm out of power for days, so I can power up my ebook devices. Who needs food!
There are many more applications than just a cell phone BF. I will deinately be getting one of these for my bug out back pack.
I think its overkill . Back a few years ago they had emergency devices powered by a handcrank : flashlights radios etc. It is a lot quicker to charge something up that way ...
The hand cranks charged only one deice (its-self) this thing charges a battery and can charge any number of devices. Big difference there I would say.
Great idea Larry. Would be nice to have on a hiking trip.
Keep an eye on this Spike they may come out with that as another model.
