As part of their phone charger innovation work, Orange has come up with a compact mobile phone charger in the form of a foot pump gadget. Created by GotWind, the foot pump drives an air turbine which then charges your mobile phone. Orange will be showcasing the gadget at Glastonbury 2009, which is being held at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, from 24th – 28th June.
The Orange Power Pump measures just 154mm x 129mm x 47mm, and is really lightweight. Considering it doesn’t need any wind or sun energy to charge your phone, it’s perfectly suited to camping in the UK when the weather is less than predictable. You get around 5 minutes of talk time from about a minutes worth of pumping.
