Charge your mobile battery without electricity, How?

What do you do if you are stuck in a field at a pop festival but there’s trouble ahead because your mobile phone’s battery is about to run out?

Thanks to new gizmo, you now just need to face the music and dance.

Mobile phone operator orange said on Tuesday it had teamed up with GotWind, a firm specializing in renewable energy, to produce a recharge powered by dance energy alone.

The portable kinetic energy chargers will be given a test run at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, the world’s biggest Greenfield music and arts celebration that begins on a farm in Somerset on Friday.

Orange said the prototype chargers weight the same as a phone and are about the size of a pack of cards. Attached to the user’s arm, they employ a system of weights and magnets which provide an electric current to top up charge in a storage batter. This can then later be used to recharge the phone. We wanted to create a fun, engaging and interactive product which would encourage users to have a laugh while charging their mobile phone and at the same time test out a new evergy efficient prototype, said Hatie Magee, Head of Partnerships at Orange UK
