Portable Wind Turbine Generator

November 15, 2024

 

 

Wind turbine generators harness the kinetic energy of wind and convert it into electrical power, providing a clean and efficient alternative to fossil fuels. Wind turbines consist of large blades mounted on a rotor. When the wind blows, it causes the blades to spin, generating kinetic energy. This energy is transferred to the rotor, which is connected to a generator. Inside the generator, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. The rotor spins a series of magnets around a stationary set of copper coils, inducing an electrical current.

The Shine 2.0 is a compact and lightweight wind turbine that can easily fit into a backpack. It weighs around 3 lbs (1.36 kg) and folds down to the size of a water bottle, making it highly portable and convenient for travel. The Shine 2.0 can generate enough energy to fast-charge your devices. It features three 23.6-inch (60-cm) composite-reinforced blades that can capture wind speeds ranging from 8 mph to 28 mph.

The Shine 2.0 supports USB-C PD 75W fast charging, allowing you to quickly charge your smartphones, laptops, cameras, and other devices. It can even top up a phone in under 20 minutes and a laptop in under 2 hours when the wind is blowing at optimal speeds. The turbine comes with a built-in 12,000-mAh battery, which serves as a power bank when you're on the go. This feature ensures that you have a reliable source of power even when the wind isn't blowing.

With Bluetooth connectivity and a companion mobile app, you can monitor the performance of the Shine 2.0 in real-time. This allows you to keep track of energy generation and battery status, ensuring that you're always aware of your power supply. The Shine 2.0 is weather-sealed to IP54 standards, making it suitable for use in various outdoor conditions. The Shine 2.0 can be used with different mounting accessories, allowing you to maximize wind capture and improve energy generation. The mount is easy to set up and provides stability in different environments.
