Joao Paulo Lammoglia’s AIRE mask is a product concept which would enable a users breath to charge a connected iOS device through internal wind turbines. Why not take advantage of a byproduct of living and convert that power into usable electricity? The design, one of many such interesting ideas on the designers webpage, is nothing more than a computer model with accompanying text, but the idea is an interesting mix of high-tech materials and pragmatic design. It was the winner of a RedDot design award in 2011 for the “best of the best”. It is not known if there are plans to manufacture the device.
