Ingenuity comes from necessity.
It was proven again as Janine Jorolan Babor posted on Facebook their energy source using just a ceiling fan.
The super typhoon Odette left Cebu and other parts of Visayas and Mindanao with great damages that it has been more than a week with no electricity.
Well, this Cebuana shared a very useful power hack with those who don’t have a generator. You just need 3 things: wind, ceiling fan/electric fan, and an extension wire.

Steps:
- Place the ceiling fan or electric fan in front of strong winds.
- Plug it in your extension wire.
- Let it have its time with the wind.
- Then plug your charger to your extension wire and you can now charge your phone.
- The extension wire doesn’t need to be plugged anywhere.
Note: Use working ceiling fans and not damaged ones for it to work. Wind turbines use blades to collect the wind’s kinetic energy.
