Festival Footwear: Dance To Charge Your Phone

Festival goers will be able to charge their mobile phones by simply stomping their wellie-clad feet this summer.

Orange Power Wellies
Orange has launched boots which can recharge a handset using a "power-generating" sole.
The Orange Power Wellies, which were developed by renewable energy experts GotWind, convert heat from the feet into an electrical current.
Twelve hours of fancy footwork can generate enough energy to power a mobile phone for one hour.
