Who said gadgets had to be power-sapping earth-killers? Well, everybody. But at least someone’s working on making mobile phones more green. French designer ModeLabs has three concept mobile phones which rely on your movements to recharge them, rather than power sockets.
For example, one, the YoYo, swings from your neck, drawing power from the motion, as well as built-in solar cells. Another business-focused phone charges when you open and close its keyboard, while the third is designed for athletes, and powers up from their exercise.
It’s a cool idea, although realistically you’ll only get your hands on these kind of phones if one of the major manufacturers takes the ideas up.
