Solar generators need ideal conditions to work, but portable wind solutions like the Shine Turbine kit can keep your devices running, even in inclement weather.
Shine Turbine Kit
The Shine Turbine kit is on sale for $279, while the Essentials Kit is on sale for $342.
The kit includes everything you need to turn wind into electrical energy, and the turbine features a 12,000 mAh battery.
There are limitations, which include the weight of the kit and the 40W of power it taps out at.
I cover a lot of solar generators here, and they are all the rage. I’ve tested dozens of devices over the past few years and seen the technology go from strength to strength.
But I often get asked, «What happens when the clouds roll in and the sun vanishes?» Living in the UK, the sun can be in short supply for much of the year.
This is when you turn your attention from solar to wind power. And there’s one company that makes portable wind turbines perfect for charging your smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices: Shine Turbine.Shine Turbine
The Shine Turbine packs all the functionality of big turbines into something small enough to fit in your backpack.
The Shine Turbine kit comes with everything you need — the turbine, a stand, guy lines, pegs, and cables. Setting up the first few times took a bit longer than I expected, especially if you’re trying to do it while it’s blowing a gale.
