Wind energy is inherently eco-friendly but not accessible for many consumers, which is something the 'Shine Turbine' is engineered to help change. Created by Cat Adalay and Rachel Carr, the turbine maintains a very compact design that offers an impressive power-to-weight ratio at 13.3W per pound. The unit can be set up for use virtually anywhere and is well-suited for off-grid use with the ability to power small technology devices.
The 'Shine Turbine' can be set up for use on a tripod and boasts a built-in 5V 12,000mAh battery to capture energy for immediate use or as a backup. The unit weighs in at just three-pounds and can capture enough energy in just 20-minutes to power up a smartphone.
