Eco Factor: Concept generator harnesses renewable energy while riding a bike.
Industrial designer Fandi Meng has come up with a concept generator that allows you to charge your cellphones using renewable energy harvested by the device. Christened the I-Green Bicycle Charging System, the device can be attached to the frame of the bike to harvest kinetic energy, which is later converted into usable electricity.
While the details are scant, the images make us believe that the device also features a portable wind turbine mechanism, which can be opened by clicking a button. Once the blades of this small turbine are extended, they can use passing wind to generate electricity as well.
