If you are those who curious of everything new, this iFan might be one of the new iPhone charger that looks quite fresh. It’s basically using the same concept of windmills work back in Holland, you’ll have to blow or find place with strong (and focus) winds to let iFan rejuice you mobile device.

According to the designer Tjeerd Veenhoven, for one full recharge it could take half a dozen hours. He then suggested to hold the iFan outside of car window while driving to get to fastest and optimal result. But I think that’s purely impossible since safety in driving is just more important than juicing up a gadget. We can use an in-car charger instead, and I guess no one will love to stick their hand outside of the car window for long hours. That could be too tiring.

However, this prove that iFan is working fine. You’ll just have to find place with strong wind to get your gadget recharged. I strongly recommend the designer to enhanced the fan so it can capture wind easily. While if the device want to be used while traveling in the car, it’s better if iFan can capture winds from the Air-cons winds rather than getting them externally.

The endless innovative concept design has once again knocking on the door of the eco-concept for the better future environment. Designed by a highly earth caring and creative people, this Turbine Light Concept promises to light up the highways just by using the winds created by the high-speed vehicles crossing the highways. The winds will move the turbine which has designed to capture winds and turn them into a usable energy enough to power up the light above the turbine.

This might sounds fresh because no one yet to use Turbine as the energy leverage. There is one downside though. Highways are not always crowded with fast-moving vehicles. So the turbine light might goes off eventually. Unless the designer found a way to integrated more technology into these Turbine Lights, such as adding battery for storing the unused energy or getting on a solar panels install on the entire surface, this design is probably gonna fail.

However, it’s a good start to create a better lighting system for the highways. It’s always a great alternative if we can free from relying on government generated electricity.
