A smaller version of a windmill that converts rotational energy of the blades into electricity could be used to charge batteries, cellphones etc when you are hiking or driving (if you did not have the 12V input)or by installing on the roof of your house. A way to procure alternative energy. All we need is good airflow.

IMO, for both the cost of the harware and the installation, it's just as cheap to get a solar cell, in most cases.

Not to say there aren't cases where a small wind turbine genrator won't be more effective than a solar panel.
