Thu, 03/15/2012 - 05:00 — Anonymous by CNNGo staff Here's a brilliant and
hilariously geeky gadget for the travelers who won't have easy access to
electrical outlets. The Aire, created by Brazilian inventor João Lammoglia,
is a mask that converts the user's breathing into energy to recharge an
iPhone or MP3 player. "Inside the unit there are small wind turbines that
make the conversion, then the energy is transferred through a cable to the
device," says the official website, which also introduces the MOOV, another
alternative charger which harnesses energy from jogging and walking via a
legband. May we suggest adding a snore muffler? Although the Aire has been
around for awhile -- it was developed in July 2011 and won the "best of the
best" red dot design award in 2011 -- it has been garnering attention only
recently on various tech blogs and radio news. Technabob introduced it as
"How Darth Vader charges his iPhone." Other blogs are happily punning
away about how the mask "breathes new life" into your phone. read more
