Making use of wind power to charge gadgets is not new to us. We’ve learned before that Orange was into making a wind-powered charger for cellphone. Now, here comes another wind-powered charger, HYmini, which is a charger/adapter device that harnesses basic, simple wind power to recharge almost all your 5V digital gadgets.
When you go for a ride on your bike, just attach HYmini on your arm or mount it on the handlebars. About one-hour journey will let you have sufficient juice for 2 full hours of MP3 playtime or over 50 snaps on your digital camera or 15 extra minutes of calls on your cell. If this is too little for you, then go for a drive and mount HYmini on the car window. A drive of about 40 MPR, will be able to generate power for over 8 hours of music on your MP3 or chat on your cell for over 40 minutes. The basic model is asking for price of $50 only. And there are some models come with solar panels.
