Windows Phone Thoughts: Glastonbury's Wind and Solar Phone Charging Tent

"If you accidentally leave for Glasto without your pocket solar charger or HYmini hand-held wind charger, fret not -- you'll be able to power your phone at a dedicated renewable energy tent. Built by Orange, the 'recharge Pod' is a seven-metre high tent with 500 watt solar panels and a 500 watt wind turbine on the roof that'll generate electricity for dead mobile phones."



This has to be one of the coolest things I have seen all week. Words cannot describe how badly I want one of these tents! Sure it wouldn't be very practice as I do not have 100 phones to charge but can you imagine having a slimmed down personal version of this tent? Maybe something powerful enough so you could take it camping and charge whatever electronics you brought with you and even power an electric hot plate. Sure you could cook your food over a fire but chances are if you're reading this site you're a fan of tinkering with technology and this is some pretty cool technology. Sort of makes you wonder why the heck we don't have similar solar and wind powered setups like this everywhere... you know, without the tent portion and just the clean renewable energy that portion.
