Canadian company Aurea Technologies presents Shine Turbine, a portable wind turbine for adventurers. The ultra-compact lightweight device offers unmatched performance for outdoor enthusiasts who need power to recharge electronic devices.
[post_relacionado]Super portable, Shine folds up into about the size of a water book bottle and is capable of charging handheld electronics such as phones, tablets, lights, cameras, etc.
Created by a women-led team, Shine weighs in at around 3 pounds and features a 40-watt turbine that can charge devices or store power in its internal 12,000 mAh lithium-ion battery for later use. It can also be pre-charged at home using a wall outlet.
“We offer wind power that fits in your backpack,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies. “Wind is the second largest producer of clean energy in the world, but most people do not have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with science and engineering backgrounds, we set out to create a wind energy product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud or sun”.
The turbine has a total battery capacity comparable to four full charges, making it the ideal tool for charging multiple devices at the same time. Its high-efficiency blades and lightweight design allow it to produce an output of 13.3 watts per pound. This is a superior power-to-weight ratio compared to other handheld portable renewable products such as solar panels, thermoelectric stoves, and water turbines.
“To live sustainably, we need to rethink the ways we create and use energy,” said Rachel Carr, director of marketing for Aurea Technologies and co-creator of the Shine Turbine. “The Shine’s design simplicity, two-minute setup, and ability to quickly generate and store power, do just that. It’s a game changer by allowing people to access wind power while they’re away from the power grid.”
Shine generates power with wind speeds from 8 to 28 mp/h and temperatures from 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 C) and is quiet in operation.
