The Hymini Portable Solar-Wind-Recharger

Gadget lovers, start your drooling. The Hymini is here!

The Hymini is a handheld, universal charger that harnesses wind and solar power to recharge all your gadgets, gizmos and widgets. Sounds like fun. And as an added bonus, if it’s a calm night with no wind or sun on the horizon, it also can recharge your items by plugging into a conventional wall plug.

According to ABC News

The HYmini holds a collected charge for two weeks and gathers a surprising amount of energy. Stand in a breezy place for an hour, get enough power for two hours of MP3 playing. Ride your bike for an hour with the HYmini and you’ll have enough power for over 50 digital photos or 15 extra minutes on your cell phone. Mount your HYmini on the car window, and if you drive about 40 miles per hour, you can generate enough power to listen to eight hours of music on your MP3 or chat on your cell for 40 minutes.
