As other gadgets we use everyday such as smart phones and music devices become smaller and smaller, it is no surprise that now [wind turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc) such as 'Trinity' can go everywhere with you. This project was created by Skajaquoda, a social business focusing on sustainable investment and based in Clarkfield, Minnesota. At the moment, this technological innovation has reached just under $14,000 of its $50,000 [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-fans) goal.

It's pretty appealing since Trinity can [charge just about any USB device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-batterycharging-device). The device is being sold by the Skajaquoda team as pretty convenient and useful when it comes to security for example if you're camping and don't have access to electricity. Other uses include boating, outdoor festivals, or a long nice day at the beach.
