There is a dearth of tech products that can also double as
accessories for fictional serial killers. If Hannibal Lecter was as into
jogging as he was into human consumption, he would have definitely been
sporting the Aire mask to power his
iPod.
The idea behind the mask it that your breath charges your small
electronics. The mask contains small wind turbines that convert your
huffing and puffing into renewable power. The Aire is just a concept at
this point, and it’s not very likely to see the light of a local Best
Buy shelf anytime soon. The mask is intriguing enough to have earned a
Red Dot
design
award in the energy category for its creator, Joao Paulo Lammoglia,
though it has some aesthetic issues that walk the line between creepy
and cool. Maybe it would look less threatening, if it came in colors
like hot pink and lime green. In the search for renewable-energy
sources, it makes sense to go all out and try some new ideas–like
strapping wind turbines to your mouth. I would definitely add an Aire
mask to my post-apocalyptic survival kit, along with my Ralph Lauren
solar backpack and 1TB Swiss Army Knife for fighting off zombies. Should
the Aire ever make it into production, be sure to grab one for your
Mortal Kombat costume.
