Conceptual 'Charge Your iPhone By Breathing' Mask

This is the conceptual AIRE mask. The idea is that you just strap it to your face and charge your iPhone simply by breathing. The Hannibal Lector look is just an added bonus! No word if breathing heavy like a f***ing creeper makes it charge any faster.

The AIRE mask is a concept that hails from the mind of Joao Paulo Lammoglia, where it will rely on the power of your breath, converting it to electricity thanks to tiny wind turbines. All you need to do is ensure the AIRE mask remains connected to an iOS-powered device, breathe as usual, and you are good to go.

You know what they need to invent? A phone that charges itself by talking and texting. Just kidding, I don't care if that ever exists or not. Now jetpacks on the other hand -- those things need to happen YESTERDAY. And speaking of things that happened yesterday... "You shit your pants on drive home from work again?" You can't anticipate traffic!

Thanks to Ben, who charges his phone the old fashioned way: with knives taped to his head pretending to be a bull.

    Why Didn't I Think Of That?: iPhone Case With Charger
    March 20, 2012
    This is the JuiceTank, an iPhone case with integrated A/C charger. Unfortunately, it is NOT compatible with plugs in foreign countries without using a fork to adjust the socket first. *snickers* We designed the case with a micro USB pass through so you can charge and sync yo... / Continue →

  • Phillips' $60 Light Bulb Is Supposed To Last 20 Years
    April 17, 2012
    This is the Phillips' latest award-winning LED light bulb, a 10-watter that produces the light equivalent (and warm glow) of a 60-watt incandescent and is rated to last 20-years at 4-hours/use a day. Will we even be using light bulbs in 20 years? No, we will not. The world i... / Continue →

  • It was excellent enough to win Lammoglia a Red Dot Award for
    Style Concept. Solar rechargers for cellular cell mobile phones already are
    available, so using your respiration could also be an option. Discovering and
    using electrical power will more than likely be a issue for humanity until the
    end of our times, but ideas like the AIRE could help power us in the right
    path.

    Can I has a gas mask version?

  • Tinker_Noseyparker_Soldier_Spy

    Will it do other phones too?

  • T_Eye

    Why does this have to be ios?
    Make it a micro usb, and you could charge more than just MP3 players and cellphones. 
    Stupid dongle

    I'd be more impressed if it used the HEAT from your breath instead of tiny wind turbines.  Then it would be using wasted energy instead of making it harder to exhale (and maybe inhale, depending on how it is designed.)

  • eforhan

    Does this come in a Darth Vader version?

  •  My thinking as well. Perhaps it could be modified to make the "hooo-purr" sound while charging.

  • ThisGuyinBlue

    this won a design award?   it.....so........idiotic.  

  •  Thanks for the sharing of such information we will pass it on to our readers.

    If you're sleeping why wouldn't you just plug it in.

    If you're trying to conserve energy they make hand-crank chargers but how much electricity are you really saving? Just plug that shit in and let your grandkids deal with the consequences. Those little bastards won't appreciate anything you did anyway.

  • The funny thing is if you use an iPhone, you don't need such a device due to long iPhone battery life.

  • kyu

    Only iPhones suck. Just sayin
