Sol Air is a wind-harnessing charger that can charge various gadgets. Sol Air was designed by industrial designer, Clarisse Paula Fernando. The charger makes use of wind and human energy to charge gadgets; it also doubles up as an alarm clock.

The Sol Air charger just needs to be placed near a window, and it’ll grab from the free energy source to store into its internal battery. If the wind isn’t blowing, you still get a choice to hand wind it to generate some juice for charging your gadgets.

You just need about 5 minutes of winding of the device to be able to charge a cellphone. The device also features a photo-luminescent casing, which captures sunlight and glows after dark. But it doesn’t convert the sunlight into electricity.
