This sleek, [battery charger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charger-2) comes flat-packed, so you put it together. A single AA battery fits snugly in the missile-shaped holder which has an attached propeller that spins in the breeze to collect energy. The entire unit sticks firmly on a glass surface with a suction cup. It is kind of cute and multiple [mini wind generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator) would look fun in a group - good thing, we usually need to recharge more than one double A at a time. The Febot concept was designed by Ji-yun Kim, Soon-young Yang & Hwan-ju Jeon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wind-powered Battery Chargers:** Small scale wind power technology for battery charging and portable devices. - **Green Energy Accessories:** Sustainable and eco-friendly accessories for portable technology and gadgets. - **DIY Energy Solutions:** Flat-pack self-assembly energy generation devices for personal use. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovative accessories for smartphones and tablets that make use of renewable energy. - **Sustainability:** Products that cater to the eco-conscious consumer and promote renewable energy. - **Education/ DIY:** Kits and products designed for educational purposes and encouraging self-assembly and innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Robotics Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windbots.md) - [Solar-Powered Oral Care Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quip-solar-battery-charger.md) - [Solar-Powered Charging Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-mars-bot.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Sustainable EV Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/change-wind-corporation.md) - [Solar-Powered eBike Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beambike.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md)
