The windmill mobile phone charger differs from other chargers in several ways. First, this charger uses a fanblade with an attached generator to power your cell phone. It’s also waterproof and has a one ampere DC flow (12V) with a potential difference of 12V, which should be enough juice for just about any mobile device. Technical specs after the jump. [Gizmodo]
