iFan for the iPhone

Comments Off on iFan for the iPhone

The iFan is the latest invention in charging smart phones without using any electricity. Despite looking a bit clunky, the iFan is a portable, small-ish (well, for a wind turbine) and very useful – especially for people who can’t pull themselves away from their phones and act uneasy when the battery in their phone is about to die.

Although right now the charger is being developed for iPhone, there’s definitely room to make a verison of this, usable to all mobile phones.

The possibilities of this new charger are endless. You could attach it to your bike, bust it out while out walking and even affix it to a part of your house. You could even spend weeks away in the middle of nowhere and not have to worry about where your next phone charge will come from. In this instance you’d probably have to worry more about phone signal.

Designer Tjeerd Veenhoven is still tinkering around with the design. He hopes to make the fan take less than 6 hours to charge a battery, as that’s how long the test model currently takes. With any luck and additional prototyping, the iFan should be on the market as soon as February.
