Nokias Peddle Power Mobile Phone Charger!
In the world of carbon footprints and energy emissions, more people than ever and turning to alternative methods of transport to get around. While not everyone is about to swap their car for a good pair of walking shoes or a reliance on public transport just yet, there have been an increasing amount of people who have left the car at home for the journey to work and instead opted to cycle. After all, it’s cleaner, cheaper and healthier.
Now Nokia have decided to capitalise on this new trend by offering customers an energy efficient way to charge their phones – by using pedal power. As cyclists do their normal run to work or the shops, the new Bicycle Charger Kit will give their phone some totally free energy that doesn’t harm the environment at all. Nokia suggests that cycling for around 20 minutes at about 13 mph should power up an average phone for over an hour of standby time, and enough to make an average length phone call.
Obviously, numbers can be a little tricky as different phones may require more or less time cycling in order to charge up, and cyclists are likely to be travelling at varying speeds throughout the day. However, the charger functions at nearly all speeds and even has a cut off the bike starts moving too fast to avoid overloading the phone. According to Nokia, running the device at around 8 mph should be about equal to what you are get out of a mains charger, and considering that’s only about double the average walking speed you won’t have to be pushing too hard.
The design is also pretty clever – the dynamo fits onto the front of the bike while the phone itself stays out of harms way on your handlebars, letting you check out the progress of the charging or listen to music and make hands free calls – although obviously you won’t get much charging done if you start using your phone on the journey.
The product is an ideal way for people who have already gone green to go that extra step further with no additional effort on their part. It might also be worth getting if you’re going on long rides away from civilisation where it can be used as a way to charge a phone in case of an emergency. Currently, Nokia haven’t given word on a release date or pricing for this product, but we imagine if you use it regularly enough you’ll probably make back the cost on electricity charges eventually!
