Wind-powered iPhone battery charger concept
Snug fit - an iPhone is said to take about 6 hours to charge using energy captured from the wind by the iFan
Article Summary
As we demand more and more of our smartphones, the up time between charges suffers. Case in point – the iPhone. Chargers come in all shapes and sizes but few offer to power up the batteries using air, or more precisely – wind. Dutch designer Tjeerd Veenhoven has crafted just such a charger where his favored Apple device slides into the soft rubber outer skin and fan blades capture energy from the wind, which tops up the battery.
