Wind power keeps your favorite gadgets running with the HYmini propeller-powered battery charger from the amusingly named MINIWIZ. MINIWIZ, according to their website's about page, "...specializes in renewable green power technology and sustainable rechargeable systems for handheld digital devices."

It sure seems like that's just what the HYmini will do--what is the HYmini, literally? It's a handheld device with a fan built into it that spins when wind blows through it. As the fan spins, it charges a battery inside the the device. You then use that battery to charge or power your smaller gadgets--like cell phones, iPods or other low-energy-consuming gizmos. Yeah, sadly, no one's found a way to offer green power for things like laptops yet, at least, not on the cheap.

In today’s world green is definitely the way to go. And although many have spent decades promoting environmentally sound practices, taking responsibility for our impact on the world has only become chic in the past few years. Somewhat in opposition to this movement is the burgeoning field of personal electronics (ie gadgets). These little devices, with their manufacturing tolls charged to the environment, their potentially hazardous batteries, and the simple fact that they are mainly incapable of being recycled, would seem counter to the green-movement. However, if you’re looking to go-green and keep yourself up-to-date with the latest gizmos, then why not do both and grab yourself the Solio Mg Edition.
