Nature could becoem a power player in the world of mobile phones. Just ask Orange about it.

The United Kingdom-based telecommunications company has announced something that was definitely unthinkable until they though of it first. They are planning to launch a product called The Orange Mobile Wind Charger. The product is just that, as the name states: a charger powered by the wind. Specifically, it is a mini turbine that latches on to the top of a tent and stores power in a separate control box that allows users to plug into when their mobiles need that much sought-after power.

Gotwind, a do-it-yourself website for energy enthusiasts, was commissioned to build the prototype charger and the said charger weighs approximately at a third of a pound. There has been no official release date or pricing details that have been set as of yet.
