Ever wished you could charge your cell phones and laptop on the go – in your car, on a train, or just walking around [4]? There are many new gadgets that have come on the market for mobile renewable energy: from solar gadget chargers, to kinetic energy chargers [4], to mini portable wind turbines [5]. Check out this video to learn a bit more about some of the companies behind the most future-forward new mobile renewable energy devices.
Our next video installment from the Greener Gadgets Conference [6] features Katie Fehrenbacher (yes, my younger sister and Earth2Tech [7] editor extraordinaire) hosting a panel discussion about the potential of new portable renewable energy technology. Featuring green-tech entrepreneurs from M2E [4](kinetic energy), HyMini [8] (mini wind chargers), Solio [9](portable solar chargers), Boston Power [10] (long-life batteries), and MTI [11](fuel cells), it’s a great discussion about how to power mobility, and how to make gadgets more portable and eco-friendly.
