Orange are the Official Communications Partners of Glastonbury, and as such, try to come up with a new feature each year, and this year it’s the Power Pump (above).  The Power Pump, produced in conjunction with GoWind, allows you to harness the power of your airbed’s footpump to recharge your phone!

Orange say “the Orange Power Pump measures 154mm by 129mm with a height of 47mm making it no bigger than a packet of Wet Wipes, is lightweight and easy to fit into your rucksack. Encased in sleek black housing, the turbine can generate enough energy to power 5 minutes of call time in the time it takes to inflate a pillow.”

If you’re heading to Glastonbury 2009 (Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, from 24th – 28th June) then you may want to pop into the Orange tent as the Orange Chill ‘n’ Charge tent will be at Glastonbury again this year providing 600 mobile phone charging points, free internet access and live music. The Orange Chill ‘n’ Charge tent will be open from Friday to Sunday, 10am-10pm.

For all the latest updates from the field go to www.orange.co.uk/glastonbury, which will be relaunching at the end of May. For more information about Glastonbury Festival go to www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk

For those that have historically taken solar chargers to Glastonbury, and bemoaned the lack of sunlight, maybe this is the solution…
