Solar and Wind Charging Power Tent for Music Festivals

Glastonbury Festival will have plenty of electricity thanks to U.K. mobile company Orange's green cellphone charging stations. The Gotwind REchargepod is the first mobile phone charging station powered solely by Wind and Solar Renewable Energy. The self sufficient pod provides a quick and secure place to charge multiple mobile phones whilst outdoors and away from traditional power sources. With a peak power of 1Kw, the pod can recharge 100 mobile phones per hour, and stores any unused energy in its battery bank.

And if that's not enough - a fully functional weather station and power generated and consumed readout is also viewable for all to see on an information panel within the pod.
