power pump charger
Orange have unveiled their sexy new compact mobile phone charger prototype, the Orange Power Pump - a lightweight unit powered by sheer legwork that will ensure festival goers at Glastonbury this summer never lose contact with their friends on site.
The Orange Power Pump, created by GotWind, the renewable energy experts, harnesses kinetic energy from an air bed foot pump, a standard piece of camping equipment, which in turn drives a turbine within the Power Pump, this energy is then converted into an electrical current which can re-charge your mobile phone.
Still not convinced? Well Orange will be showcasing the Orange Power Pump at this year’s Glastonbury Festival, taking place at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, from 24th - 28th June so you can head down and check out the thing for yur good self.
A compact camping accessory which fits all handsets, the Orange Power Pump measures 154mm by 129mm with a height of 47mm making it no bigger than a packet of Wet Wipes, is lightweight and easy to fit into your rucksack. Encased in sleek black housing, the turbine can generate enough energy to power 5 minutes of call time in the time it takes to inflate a pillow.
Following the success of 2008’s Dance Charger and Recharge Pod, Orange have continued to work with GotWind to create the Power Pump, which is the result of Orange’s lengthy research into innovative eco-technology that builds on learnings from past Glastonbury inspired designs. In keeping with the green ethos of the festival, the Power Pump uses clean and renewable energy to ensure music lovers stay connected on site.
