Windpower's a great idea, if you've got the space to put up one of the towers (and can deal with the strobe-effect shadows created under the blades, which we're told is surprisingly annoying). But now the HY Mini is bringing windpower to the personal level: hold it up in a breeze, stick it out the window while you're driving, or find your own clever way to work those turbines, and the juice it generates can later be used to power cellies and iPods.

Our only question is, assuming you'd be holding this thing in strong breezes, oughtn't it come with a wrist strap?
