# Personal Wind Turbines The 'Binopterus' Provides Wind Power Generation Even at Low Wind Speeds By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-05-27 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-power-generation References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/unique-binopterus-wind-turbine-hits-kickstarter-27-05-2016/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/binopterus/binopterus-the-revolutionary-wind-turbine) The 'Binopterus' wind turbine is capable of providing [wind power generation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrokinetic-river-power) without the need for constantly strong winds to be blowing through the design. This allows the unit to offer users the ability to provide power for a variety of household activities and effectively rely less on the [electrical grid for power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solix-e10). The best part of the 'Binopterus' is the units ability to operate even in areas where the wind might not be as powerful as other locations. Available now for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desktop-wind-tunnel), the 'Binopterus' wind turbine is storm-proof, noiseless and works independently of wind direction. This allows the unit to be placed and utilized without having to worry that it will need to be constantly repositioned to catch the wind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Personal Wind Turbines:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine offers power generation even at low wind speeds. - **Reducing Reliance on Electrical Grid:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine allows users to rely less on the electrical grid for power. - **Versatile Wind Power Generation:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine can provide power for a variety of household activities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Renewable Energy:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine disrupts the renewable energy industry by enabling power generation at low wind speeds. - **Home Energy Solutions:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the home energy solutions industry by reducing reliance on the electrical grid. - **Green Technology:** The 'Binopterus' wind turbine presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the green technology industry with its versatile power generation capabilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Wind Turbine Compact Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade.md) - [Turbine-Based Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade-1.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md)
