I-Green: concept bike charger for portable equipment

Concept proposed by the designer Fendi Mengo (Fandi Meng) looks very simple. All design trick is in the construction of a device that is attached to the bicycle front wheel fork. And contains three folding blades of the generator, capable of hiding inside in the stowed position. It remains only to put the electronics, are output from the desired current, and connect via cable to your phone (PDA, Pocket Navigator or TV). I'd just suggested to the author the idea to take care of competent management cable - its styling should not interfere with movement and generally create prbolemy.
P.S. And still need to be able to attach a charger to the bike home. Will have another incentive to break away from the computer.
