Foot Pump For Cell Phones
Orange, the UK telecom company has come up with a phone charger which works by using your feet!
Orange Power Pump, an ecologically-sound phone charger will make its debut at this summer’s bash in UK.
Created by renewable energy experts GotWind and no bigger than a pack of wet wipes, the airbed pump is fuelled by legwork alone, harnessing the power from your foot-stomps to drive a turbine that converts energy into an electrical current, no socket required.
It’s not the first time Orange has introduced green methods to keep your mobile juiced up. Last year’s Dance Charger and Recharge Pod were popular successes, showing innovation in the pursuit of phone-power and staying in line with the ethos of the festival.
“As official communications partner of Glastonbury,” adds Ian Smith, head of sponsorship at Orange UK, “we pride ourselves on creating innovative, fun and ecologically aware products which enhance the Glastonbury experience by allowing festival goers to stay in touch with their friends onsite.”
