Hymini is one of those “green” devices that harnesses the Earth’s free renewable energy source – wind – as an alternative method to recharge portable devices.
Suitable to be used when riding a bike or even when jogging, all you need to do is attach it to the vehicle or your arm to work.
The device’s wind turbines will trickle charge your 5 volt-based devices – from cellphones, MP3 players to digital cameras – once you move at a speed of at least 8km/h.
The maximum charging wind speed is 80km/h and no extra power will be converted above that speed. Peak power output for the turbine is one watt.
Generated electricity will be stored in the internal lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery.
Its manufacturers, Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Dev Ltd claims that if the device is used continuously for one hour, enough electricity will be generated to provide 15 minutes of mobile phone talktime or enable a digital camera to take at least 50 more shots.
Users can also recharge the battery using the included AC charger, which effectively transforms the HyMini into a power backup unit.
The HyMini costs US$49.99, excluding shipping costs.
