Green Gadget of the Week: Wind-Powered Induction Phone Charger

Wind-powered induction charger? Yeah, that's a mouthful. We usually talk about real gadgets in this Green Gadget of the Week series, but this one is just too cool not to take top spot this week.

Yanko Design says,

Have you ever opened a window and said to yourself, “damn Gina, it’s windy.” Harness that energy with the AERO E. Energy is converted from wind to electricity and transferred wirelessly through induction. Place your cellphone on the charging pad and be the envy of your tree hugging neighbors! The accompanying app allows you to connect to your turbine and track wind patterns and charge times too.

I don't know about you, but I'd be scared to death that my wind turbine would dislodge from the outer side of the window and plummet to its whirling death.

I'm thinking a much safer window mounted charging technology is solar power...as in the Sony Walkman replacement concept, the solar-powered Sony Eclipse.

What do you think? Solar or wind power for window-mounted charging?

    Whether wind or solar powered charging gadgets both are fine with me. Both of them make sense to lead us away from regular regular electric chargers.
