Abstract

A significant amount of people do not have grid electricity. For these people a simple task like charging a mobile phone is a serious issue. This paper deals with the harvesting of wind energy to help such people charge their mobile phone. A prototype has been developed and can also be used in an emergency when there is no nearby mobile phone charging port. Obtained results show the practicability and usefulness of the developed prototype.
