News > Dance powered phone charger is finally here
Published: 24/06/2008 | Categories: 'Mobile Phones'
Orange has teamed up with Gotwind to create a dance powered mobile phone charger.
Gotwind – which was commissioned to build a wind powered charger for Orange last year – will be testing its portable kinetic energy chargers at Glastonbury this year, according to Reuters.
Orange said the charger, which weighs the same as a mobile phone, uses a system of weights and magnets to produce electricity.
The electric current is stored in a battery, which can be used to top up your mobile phone.
Hattie Magee, head of partnerships at Orange UK, said: "We wanted to create a fun, engaging and interactive product which would encourage users to have a laugh while charging their mobile phone."
Orange's debuted its wind-powered charger at last year's Glastonbury festival.
The Mobile Wind Charger weighs 150 grams and can be mounted on a tent. It takes 12 hours for the mini turbine to generate enough power to charge a mobile handset.
