Using Air to Recharge Your Cell Phone

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the finally-a-use-for-my-wind-pipe dept.

Department of Industrial Design at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi have come up with a mobile turbine which generates around 3 to 4 watts of energy - sufficient to charge a mobile phone. It costs around $4, fits in your pocket and runs on air ;-). What else do you want ?"

    Ahem... it does not run on "air", it runs on "wind". Big differece. If it ran on "air" you'd think it worked by burning oxygen, etc., which is definitely not what it does.
