What do you do if you are stuck in a field at a pop festival but there’s trouble ahead because your cellphone’s battery is about to run out?
Thanks to a new gizmo, you now just need to face the music and dance.
Cellphone operator Orange said on Tuesday it had teamed up with GotWind, a firm specialising in renewable energy, to produce a recharger 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 weigh the same as a phone and are about the size of a pack of cards. – Reuters
