You might be familiar with wind energy, but did you know your breath can charge up your smartphone?

AIRE is a mask concept that converts your breath into electricity to recharge small electronic devices. The idea won a design red dot award in the energy category.

AIRE provides a solution by harnessing energy from one’s breathing, transforming that into electrical energy with small wind turbines within the mask. That subsequently is transferred to a charging cable.

So long as you’re breathing, you can say goodbye to being stranded with a dead phone.
