Eco Factor: Ecofriendly charger harnesses energy of motion for green energy.
Markets today are flooding with devices that let you harness renewable energy in the form of sun and wind to recharge your portable electronic gear. However, they’re only going to provide juice under a perfect set of climatic conditions. Easy Energy has launched a new green charger that doesn’t depend on the climate but lets you charge everything from cellphones to GPS devices using your own energy.
Dubbed YoGen, the palm-size device carries a ripcord, which when pulled repeatedly makes the internal alternator create enough energy to charge your portable electronics. The company claims that just a few minutes of pull/release time lets you charge various devices. Costing $39.99, you can choose between models with Apple and miniUSB tips or LG, Sony Ericsson, Nokia and microUSB tips.
