Cellular network operator Orange will be showcasing its wind-powered cellphone charger next week, where the prototype will be able to harness the power of the wind in order to provide some much needed juice to exhausted batteries that are often a common occurence among cellphones these days.

The prototype weighs 150g and can be mounted on the day, generating and storing power as long as there is some wind.
